Numbeo city-centre average. Rent is usually paid in one or more cheques; a monthly figure is a comparison unit, not a payment plan.

This is not a retail observation. It is useful for comparing options, not for assuming what a seller will charge you today.

What it costs by market

Each row is a separate observation in its own currency. We do not convert between currencies, because an exchange rate is not the price a local seller charges.
