Tajiks are leaving Russia: apartment rentals have fallen in price in half the cities

Renting three rubles is more profitable than renting two rubles

Prices for rental housing, which had risen sharply towards the end of last year, are falling in at least half of Russia’s major cities, while supply, on the contrary, is growing. Tenants change apartments without much difficulty. The owners, who inflated the cost of their homes, were in trouble. This is evidenced by the World of Apartments study.

“Apartments rented by citizens of Tajikistan who left the country en masse at the end of March are being vacated,” says Pavel Lutsenko, general director of World of Apartments. – Based on the results of the first quarter, the supply of one-room apartments in Russian cities increased by 15%, two-room apartments – by 4.5%, and three-room apartments – by 3.4%. And if the reduction in the supply of rental apartments last year reached 60-70 in some cities, it is now recovering.

St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Ulan-Ude, Grozny, Makhachkala – life has become much easier for tenants in these cities. The cost of rented apartments fell by 4%, and in some localities, for example, in Astrakhan, Voronezh, Magnitogorsk and Kemerovo – by 10%. The maximum cost of rented housing is “thirty”. If you bargain with the owners, you can come to an agreement for 25 thousand rubles – at least in the first year of rent. This is if we are talking about one-room and two-room apartments.

“Threshkas” fell even more in price. Let’s say, in Naberezhnye Chelny – by 14% (up to 28 thousand rubles per month), in Orel – by 12% (up to 24 thousand), in Saratov – by 10% (up to 25 thousand). Experts recommend renting three- and four-room apartments, since their cost is sometimes comparable to the price of two-room housing.

In Moscow, odnushkas, due to inertia, are still rented 1.1% more expensive than three months ago, and now cost 47 thousand rubles per month, in the Moscow region – 4% more expensive (30 thousand rubles), in St. Petersburg – 2.9% cheaper (the same 30 thousand).

On average, in all cities, one-room apartments in price have not changed and are rented for an average of 21 thousand rubles per month. “kopeck piece” – for 27 thousand, “three ruble” – for 33 thousand rubles.

Experts expect that due to the departure of guest workers, the cost of renting housing for Russians will continue to decline.
