Hi, beginning May my girlfriend and I are moving from Netherlands to Moscow. We are looking for a 2 or 3-room furnished apartment of about $1500-2000 a month near a subway station and basic shop facilities. This apartment should be for living and for establishing an office which is part of a St.Pete based company. While asking some agencies they explain that we have to call back 2 weeks before we arrive:
- Is it only possible to discuss possibilities on such a short notice?
- Can you give an estimation if we can find something based on our needs?
- Is it difficult to register a company on the same address as where we are living?
- Can you advise how we can find such an apartment?
Thanks for your support and service!  Read answer |

I appreciate there may not be many (if any) properties in Moscow fitting this description but please let me know what area you would recommend and a rough estimate of rent range. Thank you!

| Hello! I am an expat who owns an apartment in St. Petersburg which I am renting out. I have usually accepted the rent in cash, but since I am currently abroad I asked the tenant to transfer the rent to my bank account (a ruble account at Raiffeisen bank). When he tried to do this however, he was informed that it was impossible for residents to transfer funds to non-residents' accounts. Is this true or is his bank (Sberbank) giving him misleading information? (He gave them the necessary "currency control code"). Read answer |

| Hi, I am relocating out to Moscow with my family in August 2009. My workplace will be based in Chekhov [142301], and I plan to drive there daily. We are looking at schools, maybe either BIS [school 4], EIS [Zeleney prospekt] or Int.School of Moscow [121552]...and clearly we need to be south-ish of the centre in all cases. I have RUB 3m to spend p.a. on rent. We need at least a 2-bed (ideally 3-bed) accommodation. What areas do you suggest for these 3 schools [ideally either walking distance, or short metro/bus], and will my daily commute be for more than 1.5hrs each way! Many thanks! Read answer |

Looking forward to your advice. Thanks!

| We are a family with 2 kids aged 15 and 10 considering a move to Moscow late summer. Looks like the older one will be accepted at AAS and the younger one will have to do one year at BIS Rosinka before moving to AAS as well. We are looking for a compound with facilities, like tennis, swimming, fitness etc, so that the kids can do their activities and socializing indepently without us driving them everywhere. I understand from other questions that Rosinka has these facilities. Are there any other compounds that have these as well? I am a bit worried about the commute into the centre. We used to live in Moscow 14 years ago and always used the metro. What is the commute time from Rosinka to closest metro? And what is the commute from Rosinka to AAS? We are already on a waiting list for Rosinka, but what are options for temporary accomodation. Is Moscow Country Club an option? Read answer |

Hi, I am planning on relocating to Moscow over the next few months. I will be working around Kosmodamianskaya Nab. and wanted to find an apartment to rent that would be reasonably close to my work place. I have the following questions:
1) How much would be a reasonable rent for a 1-2 bedroom apartment (appr. 50-70 sq.m), no parking, and a well maintained building in a safe and good area.
2) In Canada, the real-estate agent is paid by the landlord, how is the situation in Moscow (how much are those fees?) What other fees are typically involved in a transaction? How large is the security deposit.
3) How much time should I plan for, from the moment I find the right place to the moment I can move in? Are there many places that are vacant?
4) Are most rent agreements are for a full year, more/less, and are they flexible in terms of early termination or extension?
5) Are most transaction being executed directly between the tenant and landlord, or is there a real-estate agent involved?
6) How to chose a good real-estate agent?

| My husband has been approached re a job in Moscow and will be flying over for an interview in the next 10 days. We know nothing whatsoever about that part of the world and as it is with a company we do not know, we don't know if they even have expatriate policies in place. We are also not sure whether we will bring our teenage children, or leave them at boarding school in our own country. We have a good standard of living and a large house/garden and two dogs. What sort of accommodation can we expect in Moscow, and what sort of money are we talking per month. What is usually included in the price? Having read some of the other questions, it appears that an apartment in the city area, in an expat area - if anything is available there - is what you will likely recommend. Three bedrooms will probably be sufficient. Are dogs generally permitted in apartments and is it easy to exercise them? Is security an issue with living arrangements? Does one require a garage - I don't know whether expats drive or drivers are provided? Do expats generally bring all their goods and furniture or are there lots of furnished places? This and any other information would be appreciated. We have only ever lived abroad under the umbrella of a large multi-national where we always felt very secure. This is going to be quite different. Is there anyone who we can chat to in order to establish whether our "package" is sufficient? Thanks for any help you can provide. Read answer |
