I think i did read somewhere on a Swedish forum that it is usual to see posters in Malta in different cities saying like "Rent this apartment - €250/month".
Can anyone living there confirm this?
Reason for asking is that i might buy room in a Hostel for 2-3 days and just go there and find an apartment on my own instead of dealing with an Real Estate firm. And in that way i doesn't need to pay the "finders fee" and also see with my own eyes. 
Thanks!

Not really seen that myself, but you can always find an apartment without going through agents.
The local paper, websites, bars, word of mouth etc etc etc.

Thanks both for reply, since i already started a thread i can ask one more question.
Do many apartments owners prefer payment for the bill/water/elec in cash? I donŽt use a regular bank-account first months so i would like to pay cash. I think it would be better for them to!

most prefer it that way....as its harder to trace....lol
just keep track of what you pay, check your consumption and do your research regarding billing and rates of charges....as some (not all) do try to overcharge newcomers....by producing their own bills... which could be quite different to what the actual bills are...its one of the first questions you should ask regarding billing and charges

Thanks for info, very useful.
I'm a bit scared of this scenario where the owners overcharge.
But i will not use any AC so i think a maximum of €100/month in electrics/water/gas is OK.

I think 100 Eur/month is to much for one person. I pay for water/ electricity 50 Eur/month. Gas you buy by yourself from the gasman.

The best website is justlanded.com . I got into a lovely old appartment this way for less than 200 euros. If you want to know more or are interested to share a room, write me privately.
