Since Estonian Business School does not have a campus on site our international students usually rent private apartments in the city centre (EBS is also situated in the city centre) and often two or three students share bigger apartments.
The most useful and effective ways of finding accommodation have proven to be:
- Website specially for university students to find apartments in Estonia 1Home, TallinnStudent, G4S Hostel and Academic Hostel.
- To find a suitable accommodation online, please visit two of our most popular real estate pages:

KV.ee - What to keep in mind if you decide to rent the apartment?
- There is always a possibility that people will try to cheat/scam you.
- Renting the apartment is a legal process – you should have a contract, all the agreements are set in the contract.
- You should also check if that kind of address exist and if the person who calls themselves „owner“ of the apartment actually exists.
- Make sure that the landlord has the owner’s authorization. Sometimes owner and landlord are not the same person.Read the contract before signing it.
- If you cannot understand all the parts in the contract – ask someone to translate it for you.
- Don’t send out money beforehand (before you see the apartment. Check the apartment before you move in with the owner.
- Utilities part should be brought out in the contract (like electricity, gas, water etc). If they are not in the contract you pay rent + utilities will be additonally added. If from the utilities only gas, electricity, water and heat, then the owner can’t ask you for extra fee
