Schooling Facility- When expatriates move toAddis
Ababa, one of the first things they need to
determine is which private school option would be
ideal for their children. The choice of school
usually affects their selection of where they
want to rent a house in Addis Ababa. There are a
handful English, German, and French schools to
choose from. The most popular English schools in
Addis Ababa include The International Community
School of Addis Ababa (ICS),SandfordBritish
School, Bingham Academy and Cambridge Academy.
LyseeGebremariam is the only French school in the
city while the German Embassy School is the only
German school in Addis Ababa. Other international
schools that are descent include the Greek
School, British International School and Andinet
International School.If you choose ICS or Bingham
Academy, we advice you to find a house for rent
in Old Airport Addis Ababa. If you decide to go
with any of the other schools, renting a house in
Bole Addis Ababa or other neighborhoods nearby
would be ideal. These neighborhoods include
Kebena, Aware, Cazanchis, British Embassy Area
and Sidst Kilo areas may also work fine.

Lease Agreement- When you think of renting an
apartment or a house in Addis Ababa, one should
know that rent is normally paid for 6 to 12
months in advance and should plan accordingly.
Lease periods usually range 1 to 3 years.
Specific questions like the late payment policy,
any grace period, when the lease commences and
when it ends, should be kept in mind before
making a tenancy agreement. Looking for a old
rental apartment, and highly inflated rent each
year may not be an advisable apartment for
you. Proper Maintenance- Apartments for rent in
Addis Ababa are generally in good shape as most
of them were recently built. However, most small
houses for rent in Addis Ababa tend to be old and
renting one can be very frustrating if your
landlord is not cooperative and responsive
whenever maintenance work is required. The bigger
houses, however, were built recently and dont
cause you as much headache. When it comes to
maintenance renting an apartment in Addis Ababa
is more advantageous as most apartment complexes
usually have a maintenance staff on hand to deal
with every maintenance issue  like electrical and
plumbing issues. Some of them even have 24-hour
emergency on-call maintenance service to fix any
problem immediately. This is truly an enormous
advantage of leasing an apartment in Addis Ababa.

Knowledge of Actual Rent- Rent is never the
final expense youll have to bear while living in
an apartment. But you may becharged for property
management, cost of some utilities, and the use
of amenities in addition to the rental cost. Some
landlords may include the cost of things like
water, gas, electricity, and cooling in the rent
but the majority of them dont. Its best to know
precisely what is included in deciding the total
monthly cost of living in an apartment. For
example if rent is cheap then it may not include
any utilities, cable, Wi-Fi, internet, etc. When
it comes to renting a villa in Addis Ababa, you
are expected to cover all the extra expenses on
top of the rent. Property Security- You should
pay special attention to security while renting
an apartment, and make sure to look at all the
available safety and security features and if
they are up to international standards. Before
taking an apartment for rent in Addis Ababa one
should confirm that a high-security lock, a
buzzer system, fire extinguishers, and similar
options are available and are functioning
well. Parking Situation- Parking place always
remains at the top ofprioritys list if you own a
car. Street parking outside the apartment can be
hard to find and it isnot even safeeven if you do
find one. So finding an apartment for rent in
Addis Ababa with a parking garage must be a
priority. However, a personal parking spot is
sometimes provided for an added charge, so one
should confirm its cost as well.
