Thank you so much for this list! Even though I know some Italian, some of these phrases mean nothing to me...especially when you take into account false friends. I thought "cucina abitabile" meant "habitable kitchen" which made me wonder about the condition of kitchens that didn't have this description!! 🤔 It makes sense now that this refers to the size of the kitchen and that you can put a table in there.

I agree with you that renting should never be long term. My husband and I rented an apartment for 3 years, then 15 years ago we decided to buy our own home and now, mortgage is payed and we are the proud owners of our own house.
Your screenshot shows the Idealista site. I used them back in 2018 when I noticed that my 1960's childhood home in Naples was for sale. I posed as a prospective buyer in order to get a nostalgic walk thru of the house. They were very responsive and accommodating, which is unusual for Naples. Nevertheless, take it with a grain of salt. I might have gotten VIP treatment because the house in question was listed at 3.5 million Euro. Either way, the Idealista property search feature is great.
Ha! Interesting strategy. I also once walked into my old childhood home after it was sold. Don’t ask me how that happened but it was very surreal having a stranger show me her house which used to be my house which in my mind was still and will always be my house. To this day I’m not sure if going back there was a good idea
If you rent (or buy) a place through an agency, here in Italy, you are not signing a renting contract with a company, but with the landlord. There is literally nor practical nor legal difference if, instead, you find the place by yourself. After the contract with the landlord is signed, the agency (that gets its expensive commission) is not involved anymore and you have to relate only with the landlord for any issue. The agency’s task is only to get the owner in touch with the aspiring renter, without any legal guarantee that the place is really as described by the agent himself. This, due to the fact that, here in Italy, the agency does not represent the landlord, nor the renter, but is just a middleman, basically paid just for “show places”. I also do not agree with your last consideration about the fact that renting forever is not good. Who bought here in Italy from 2007 onward, got absolutely wrecked from an investment point of view, because the value of real estate asset decreased. One, instead, would have made absolutely better investing his money in safe stuff bonds like Italian Btp or even US Treasuries and paying the rent with the bond’s coupons. This is especially true now, with the yields of the bonds gone on the roof. Off course no one knows the future, but basically every expert is predicting that due to various factors like economic and demographic decline, real estate values in Italy will continue to decrease. Keep also in mind that, in places like Rome, if you want to live near public transportation or subway, you have to live in a building of the 60s, the 70s or the 80s. New constructions are few and extremely expensive. Any structural engineer will tell you that those buildings will not last for other 30 o 40 years, and so, one should think twice before buying.
See my post above re: the economic conditions in play now and into the future, let alone the new political situation in Italy which hopefully will fall apart relatively soon. Your post was quite helpful, too!
Hi. Thank you for the clarification. As I said in the video unfortunately I don’t have agency experience, However I have a friend who did rent with an agency and my understanding is that there was much more involvement on the agency’s part as far as the overall rental is concerned. I would still rather take my chances with an agency than a private rental because common sense tells me that an agency won’t just take anyone who wants to have their house shown. There must be some prerequisites, otherwise they risk damaging their reputation. Yes, are indeed trying to be mindful of the year a building was built because we don’t want to be paying for structural repairs.
@@DavidsDoseofItaly I was referencing the Meloni coalition which did win. Berlusconi was making noises, that calmed down, and now he's dead. So, still waiting for something to transpire.

Salve David. In the next 1 to 2 years I plan on buying a home, something that needs TLC. I am really handy. My next visit to Italy will be to Pescara to looking at homes 60,000 - 100,000 €.
Yes. I dived into it somewhat. My friend was just there with his mother They have a house in Tocco di Cassuria Pescara. His friend is selling his house for about 50,000€. Needs work plus new pluming. So, if I hired someone to turn the house the way I want it, figure another 50k That’s new bath rooms, new kitchen. Updated electric and fixtures.
hi! your videos are really helpful!! if i were to rent for only 3 months, can i use sites like idealista o immobiliare? or they only do longer contracts? if not my only option would be airbnb right?
Great video! Thank you for the information. Is it harder to rent as a foreigner? When they ask for references, is that like a statement from where you currently live that you pay on time etc?
Hi Robert. Thanks! Hard to say if it is easier or harder for a foreigner. I'd say a bit more difficult simply because don't know the country and system as well as a native born person. I don't think they ask for references here although I am not sure if an agency will ask for them. My gut says no.
Love your videos David. You mentioned that you taught English in a language school. I’m trained up and ready to teach ESL in Genova to adults. Do language schools in Italy provide English classes to adults? What do you recommend?
Hey Ed. Absolutely. I made a few videos on that which may help. I mainly teach adults. I recommend that you keep your standards high, don't get paid per hour and apply to multiple schools so you're not forced to take the first school that offers you a job.
