Question 1

How much does it cost to rent an apartment in Achapnyak, Yerevan?

Accepted Answer

Half of the listings in this selection cost more than $885 per month and half cost less. Nine out of ten are between $622 and $1,646. This is the median of our current listings, not the average, because a few very expensive listings push the average up.

Question 2

How many options are available now?

Accepted Answer

There are 20 listings in this selection. The list comes from the WSE.AM database: a listing disappears as soon as it is rented or sold, so there are no outdated offers here.

Question 3

What size are the apartments in this selection?

Accepted Answer

A typical apartment is 62 m², about $18 per square metre per month. In Armenia rooms are counted including the living room, so a 2-room apartment usually has one bedroom.

Question 4

Is this more or less expensive than the district average?

Accepted Answer

Cheaper by about 14%: the median of all apartments in the district is $1,024 per month, in this selection it is $885. Both figures come from the same database, so they can be compared directly.

Question 5

Do I need an extra deposit for a pet?

Accepted Answer

Owners often ask for a larger deposit or a separate clause in the lease about liability for damage. The amount is negotiable and is usually within one month's rent. We tell the owner about your pet in advance so that it does not come up on moving day.

Question 6

What do I need to rent an apartment in Yerevan as a foreigner?

Accepted Answer

A passport, the first month's rent and a deposit. The deposit is usually equal to one month's rent but is agreed with the owner. We prepare the lease, help with moving in and record the meter readings; a foreigner needs nothing else to rent.
