There are different ways to find accommodations. You can go through the ads for apartments in the local newspapers where you will find an extensive advertisement section; you can also advertise in the local newspapers; or you can go through a real estate agent. 

For unfurnished apartments, a lease of not less than one year is normally required. The majority of landlords request one year’s rent in advance. Depending on the location and the type of building, accommodation is available at yearly rents varying between US$12,000 to US$30,000 for a three to four bedroom unfurnished apartment. The rent usually includes water supply but excludes electricity and service charges, which have to be incurred by the tenants.

Furnished studios with up to three bedroom apartments are available from US$1,500 to US$3,000 per month (weekly and daily rates are also available at some furnished apartments) and usually provide a refrigerator, cooking stove, kitchenware, plus basic domestic services, i.e. cleaning and maintenance.
