A two-bedroom apartment typically rents from €650/month in Nicosia and €700/month in Paphos, rising to €1,200–€3,500/month in Limassol depending on proximity to the seafront. Villas range from about €1,400/month inland to €12,000/month for prime Limassol seafront.
Standard long lets run for twelve months with an option to renew. Landlords normally ask for one month's rent in advance plus a deposit of one to two months, refundable at the end of the tenancy subject to condition.
