How much does student accommodation near the Rome Business School cost?

The Spotahome Rent Index 2026 gives clear price ranges for the neighbourhoods around the campus.

A room in a shared flat is the most popular choice near the Rome Business School, keeping costs down in an upmarket part of the city. If you would rather have your own space, a studio in Flaminio is a central, self-contained option a short ride from campus, with bills included in a share of listings, so check what each monthly figure covers.

When should I start looking for accommodation near the Rome Business School?

Start early, because central Rome fills up fast before each intake.

• The school runs intakes through the year, so it pays to search as soon as your start date is confirmed.
• Booking two to three months ahead gives you the widest choice around Prati and Flaminio.
• Reserving online before you arrive lets you sign from home and move straight into a furnished flat.

A search a couple of months out is the calmest way to secure a good room.

How does Spotahome verify properties and what happens if the apartment doesn't match the listing?

Every home goes through a listing verification process before it goes live, so the photos and details match the real property.

• If the flat doesn't match the listing when you arrive, report it within the first 24 hours.
• The Spotahome team then helps resolve it, by mediating with the landlord or arranging alternative accommodation.

It is a practical safety net when you are booking a home from abroad.

How much deposit do I have to pay? And when is it returned?

The deposit is set by each landlord, usually one or two months' rent.

• On listings tagged "Deposit protected", if the landlord fails to return it within three months of move-out and you met the contract terms, Spotahome refunds it to you directly.
• Many properties also come with no deposit at all, and you can filter for these in the search.

Check the listing before booking to see which option applies.

Do I need a guarantor to rent on Spotahome?

No, you do not need a local guarantor or an Italian payslip to book.

• To reserve, you usually only need your ID or passport, your acceptance letter or student or worker credentials, and a payment method.
• Once the landlord accepts your booking, they may request proof of solvency and a bank direct debit to finalise the contract.

Having these ready in advance keeps the last step quick and smooth.

What is included in the monthly rent? What is not?

Your monthly rent always includes the rent, the property tax and the building service charges. Utilities like electricity, gas, water and Wi-Fi are included in a good share of the listings, but not all landlords add them: in some flats you'll see a fixed monthly amount on top. Personal items and food are never included. Optional services such as a parking spot or weekly cleaning are usually billed separately. Take a careful look at each listing's description to see exactly what each property covers.
