Three-bedroom apartments for rent in Podgorica - page 13

Rent for a three-bedroom apartment in Podgorica ranges from €900 to €1,500 per month and more for luxury flats. In Zabjelo, new-build 85–100 m² with a parking space rents for €900 to €1,100. City Kvart achieves €1,000 to €1,400 — a three-bedroom of 100 m² there costs €1,200 per month. Central Point is similar in price. Gorica C, Ljubović and Pobrežje offer rents of €950 to €1,200. Older buildings in Blok 5 and Centar can offer three-bedroom flats even below €900 for older construction with a larger floor area. Always add utilities of €130 to €200 per month on top of the rent.

For families with children, Zabjelo is the right choice — schools, nurseries, KBC, good infrastructure and reasonable rent. Gorica C and Ljubović are quieter, greener locations with somewhat calmer neighbours — a good choice if peace and quiet matter to you. City Kvart and Central Point are premium options with a central location but at a higher price. Pobrežje is a good middle option — somewhat quieter than City Kvart with similar infrastructure characteristics. For larger floor areas at a lower price, Blok 5 offers older construction but solid flats of 100–130 m² below the market average.

Check whether the flat has a master bedroom with its own bathroom — this is the standard for three-bedroom flats and without it adults sharing the flat will find things uncomfortable. Check the size of each room — a smaller room under 9 m² is a problem if you plan to use it as a proper bedroom. Pay attention to the building's service charges, especially if the building has a pool, reception or gym — these can amount to €150 to €400 per month and come on top of the rent. Visit the flat in the evening to hear the sound insulation and assess noise from the surroundings.

Three-bedroom apartments are offered both furnished and unfurnished — unlike studios and one-bedroom flats, the supply of unfurnished flats is much more present here. An unfurnished flat is a smart option if you have your own furniture or plan to stay for a long time and want to arrange the space to your own taste. The rent for an unfurnished three-bedroom flat is on average €100 to €150 lower than a furnished one of the same size and location. If you take an unfurnished flat, do not forget to budget for furnishing costs.

Utilities for a three-bedroom apartment in Podgorica amount to €130 to €200 per month, depending on the season and the size of the flat. Electricity is the largest cost — in winter months heating can increase the bill by €50 to €80. Internet costs €15 to €25, water and the communal maintenance fee together around €30 to €50. If the building has shared costs (lift, cleaner, video surveillance), this can be a further €30 to €100 per month. A flat with a rent of €1,100 can cost up to €1,400 per month in total. Always ask the landlord for average bills.

The standard deposit is one month's rent, and many landlords of three-bedroom flats also require the last month's rent in advance — for a flat at €1,100 that means €2,200 immediately, and with the last month up to €3,300. The contract should clearly define: the rent amount, what is included, who bears the costs of repairs to appliances and installations, the notice period, conditions for the return of the deposit and whether a rent increase is possible during the contract period. Notarisation is not compulsory but is recommended, especially for flats with a high rent where misunderstandings are possible.
