- Step 1
Set budget and shortlist areas
Decide your monthly budget and which circle or neighbourhood suits you. Rents are usually quoted per year, so divide by 12 to compare with a monthly budget. - Step 2
View and compare
Visit more than one apartment, ideally at different times of day. Check water pressure, heating, parking, noise and the commute, and ask exactly what the rent includes. - Step 3
Check ownership, agree terms
Ask who owns the apartment and whether the agent is licensed. Agree the rent, lease length, deposit and payment schedule in writing before you commit. - Step 4
Sign and pay the deposit
Read the whole contract before signing. A deposit of about one month's rent is common, but the amount and refund conditions belong in the contract. Keep receipts. - Step 5
Move in: meters, keys, inventory
Record electricity and water meter readings, count the keys and photograph the condition with an inventory list. Put utilities and internet in your name.

Do tenants pay an agent fee when renting in Amman?
