🇮🇹 Italy · Housing

Renting and buying property in Italy — typical rents, deposits, contracts, and official tenancy rules.

Italy rental housing is handled through private contracts that usually must be registered with Agenzia delle Entrate. Tenants should verify contract type, registration, deposit terms and local residence-registration steps before signing.

  • Residential lease contracts normally must be registered within 30 days unless the contract is very short-term under official rules.
  • Cedolare secca is a landlord tax option; tenants should focus on the registered contract, receipts and residence evidence.
  • Rules and market practice vary by municipality, so confirm local anagrafe and utility requirements before moving.
