Italy: average monthly housing rent 2023

The average square meter rent in Italy in October 2023 declined from the previous month, but was about 0.7 euros more expensive than the same period in 2022. In October 2023, renters paid on average 12.74 euros per square meter for a rental home. However, renting in some of Italy's northern regions, including Aosta Valley, Tuscany, and Lombardy, was much more expensive.

City vs. Countryside

It is not a secret that rental prices for residential real estate differ hugely between the city and the countryside. In Italy, Milan and Rome are among the most expensive areas for renters. According to data gathered in 2023, some districts of the two cities boasted an average rental price of over 20 euros per square meter.

Southern Italy is more affordable

In absolute terms, renting a dwelling in cities in southern Italy is more affordable. Even in the most affluent areas, rents in Palermo were not higher than 11 euros per square meter in late 2023. Moreover, in Naples renting a dwelling could cost between seven and 17 euros per square meter.
