need some info Rent in Cebu

[Seattle2Cebu 0]

What can a local filipino rent an apt for in Cebu.. I am temporarily helping someone there.

I want to compare the numbers they are giving me.

To just get a cheap one or two bedroom apt or house in Cebu is about how much?

do they normally require a deposit or first and last months rent?

thanks for answering...

Well it all depends like everything else... Where in Cebu she plans on renting. I know of many places where they rent a room in a house and it can cost as low as 1500-2000p (About $30-40). But again, depending on what part of town or the type of place she plans on living will determine the cost.

I hope this helps a little...

the rent varies on where in cebu she rents. if she rents in major key cities, then expect a higher rent.

a cheap palce to rent monthly would cost you 1000 Php (single bedroom) with common bathroom, salal and kitchen.

if renting a place with single room with bathroom and kitchen and a receiving room, expect to rent from 2000 Php to 3000 Php (single or double bedroom).

YES, deposit and one month advance is sometimes asked...but NOT ALWAYS.

in my case (since we have 44-doors apartment with 1-3bedroom facility), i require both, the deposit and advance since we're located in a major key city (mactan).

it really depends on what both parties agree on, so just tell the person you're helping out to ask for affordable options since there are a lot of cheap apartments in cebu with great facilities.

Well it depends which area? I myself rented room with bath for $100 then not included the electricity I used water is free, prices varies in location, accessibility, safety and cleanliness. As what the above reply ussually they well ask at least 3 months payment.

You could try going to Yahoo and searching their groups for 'Cebu'. There are a lot of expats living there that might be able to give you more details. I see inquiries all the time in several of the expats groups I belong to and there is always one or more responses with information on rentals.
