Bratislava ≈660 €, Košice ≈650 €, Nitra ≈600 €, Žilina ≈590 €, Trnava ≈570 € per month. These are listing prices, not statistics: clarify if utilities are included.

Deposit and deductions

There is no separate legal limit for rental housing deposits; in practice, 1–2 months' rent is often requested. The employer can deduct housing costs from your salary only with your written consent.

Before signing confirm in writing the price, what it includes, the deposit amount, and the terms for its return. Do not pay a deposit before inspecting the housing.
