Moving to Ostrava- Apartment Question

#1
Hi everyone!

I found out this morning that I got the job in Ostrava that I had applied for!  (Now I’m excited, scared, and panicking a bit!)

I was just wondering if it’s possible to rent an apartment before I get there.  Is that common?  I just want to have as much prepared as possible before my arrival.

Thanks,

Jo

I'd recommend  having your employer set you up with a realtor. If possible, have the employer provide you temp housing for a month or 2. It's not uncommon.

Hi Jo

I work in Ostrava 2 days per week. There's plenty of reasonably-priced accommodation there. The city is quite spread out so check that you will have easy public transport connections to your place of work. I know a few people there so if i can help you in any way just ask. I think there's a message board in one of the big companies i work with and maybe they advertise flats for rent.

Regards, Mark
