Help center

Are the rooms furnished?

Yes. Every apartment is fully furnished and ready to move into. Bedrooms come with a bed, mattress, pillow, duvet and bed linen, and a wardrobe. Kitchens are fully equipped with dishes, and every apartment has its own washing machine. Each listing shows the exact furniture and shared facilities.

Are utilities and Wi-Fi included in the rent?

Yes. All utilities (electricity, water, heating) and high-speed Wi-Fi are included in the rent. Every apartment also has its own washing machine. Cleaning of shared areas is not included; tenants take care of it themselves.

Are your rooms and apartments verified?

Yes. Every room and building offered directly through Erasmus in Prague is checked before being listed.

Can I book together with friends?

Yes. Select several rooms in one apartment, or book a whole apartment for your group.

Can I buy a ticket at the door?

Sometimes, but only if the event has not reached capacity. Door tickets may also be more expensive, so booking in advance is always safer.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Within 14 days of signing the contract (but no later than your move-in date), you can withdraw from the contract and your deposit is refunded. After that, the contract is binding for the whole rental period. The booking fee is non-refundable in all cases. If your plans change, you can suggest a replacement tenant; once we approve them, you'll be released from the contract.

Can I cancel, transfer or change the name on my ticket?

This depends on the event and ticket type. Contact us as soon as possible and we will check what can be changed. Please do not assume that every ticket can automatically be transferred or resold.

Can I extend my stay?

Yes, but let us know at least 3 months before the end of your semester.

Can I have guests stay overnight?

Yes, just let us know in advance. Parties are not allowed.

Can I join before arriving in Prague or after the semester has started?

Of course. You can join while preparing for your stay, once you arrive or at any point during the semester.

Can I promote my event, business or WhatsApp group?

Please ask an admin first. This also applies to contacting members privately for commercial promotion. We check external offers to protect the community from spam and scams.

Can I rent accommodation for only one semester?

Yes. You can rent for the 1st semester (Sep–Jan), the 2nd semester (Feb–Jun), the full academic year (Sep–Jun) or the summer (Jul–Aug). The minimum stay for a semester is 5 months. Exact move-in and move-out dates depend on the property.

Can I see the apartment before booking?

Yes. Click "Request viewing" on the listing. If you're still abroad, ask your housing buddy for more photos or a video call.

Do I need a ticket?

It depends on the event. Some meet-ups are free and open to everyone, while parties and activities with limited capacity usually require a ticket or registration. You will always find this information in the event details.

Do I need to be an Erasmus student to join?

Not at all. Our events are open to everyone who wants to be part of the community. Erasmus and international students make up a big part of it, but local students, interns, expats and visiting friends regularly join too :)

Do I need to register for a free event?

If the event has a registration link, yes. Free registration still helps us manage capacity, and some venues cannot accept additional people once all places are booked.

For free community events such as meet-ups, karaoke or city tours, you never need a ticket :)

Do you provide documents for my visa or residence permit?

Yes. We provide a rental contract and a confirmation of accommodation.

How can I find accommodation through Erasmus in Prague?

You can browse our available rooms and apartments online or contact our Accommodation team for help. Availability changes quickly, especially before the beginning of each semester.

How can I report a scam, harassment or another problem?

Message one of our admins privately and include screenshots or any other useful information. We will review it as soon as possible and handle it discreetly.

In case of any urgent incidents, call our manager Vit directly on +420 773 687 751

How do I get to Erasmus in Prague Office?

Our office is located in Záhřebská 10, Prague 2 Vinohrady. You can get here simply by taking Metro line A (the green one) to Náměstí Míru stop. It takes 5 mins on foot from there.

How does booking work?

  • Step 1: Save your spot. Click "Continue & Reserve" and fill out a quick form to place a temporary hold on your room or flat. No payment is required.
  • Step 2: Meet your housing buddy. Within 2 working days, your housing buddy contacts you to confirm your details and answer your questions.
  • Step 3: Sign the contract. We email you a draft contract. You and your flatmates fill it out and sign it, then we add our signatures and send you the final copy. You pay nothing until the contract is signed.
  • Step 4: Pay and move in. Pay the booking fee and the security deposit, receive your check-in details and collect your keys.

More details: Booking process explained

How does check-in work?

Your housing buddy meets you at the apartment to hand over the keys. You agree the time together, so let them know your arrival details in advance.

How does move-out work?

We inspect the apartment at the end of the semester, compare it with the move-in video, and your deposit is returned within 14 days of the end of your contract. A final cleaning fee of CZK 1,000 per person is charged when you move out. You can pay it in cash at move-out, or have it deducted from your deposit.

How does the rent payment work?

Rent is due by the 1st of each month. You can pay by bank transfer or in cash at our office. Your housing buddy will agree the method with you.

Is it free to join the community?

Yes. Joining our community and WhatsApp groups is completely free. You only pay for individual events, trips or services when a price is shown.

Is it normal to come to an event alone?

Completely normal. Many students come alone, especially at the beginning of the semester. Our team is usually there to welcome you, introduce you to others and help you get involved.

Is there a deposit?

Yes. The security deposit equals one month's rent and is paid directly to your landlord's account. It is fully refundable: you get it back within 14 days of the end of your contract, minus any damages.

What happens at move-in?

We record a video of the apartment at handover, so its condition is documented for both sides.

What happens if an event is changed or cancelled?

We will contact registered participants through the details used during booking and share an update through our official channels. Any available refund or replacement options will be explained there.

What happens when an event is sold out?

Unless we announce that more places have been released, you should assume that entry is no longer available. Follow our official channels in case capacity changes or we add another date.

What identification should I bring?

For nightlife events, bring a valid physical passport or national ID. Student tickets may also require a valid student card or ISIC. A photo of your ID may not be accepted by the venue.

What if I damage something?

Repair costs for damage caused during your stay are deducted from your deposit.

What if everything I like is booked?

Get in touch with us anyway! We often have other rooms and apartments that aren't listed on the website, and new places become available throughout the year. Tell us your dates, budget and preferred area, and we'll let you know what we can offer.

What is Erasmus in Prague?

Erasmus in Prague is a local student organisation helping international students find accommodation, meet people, settle into the city and make the most of their time in Prague. We run one of Prague’s largest international student communities, together with regular events, activities and trips.

What is the booking fee?

The booking fee is a one-time administrative fee of €350 per person for one semester, or €450 per person for the full academic year. Every student in the apartment pays their own fee by bank transfer. It covers handling your reservation and preparing your contract, and it is separate from your rent and deposit. The booking fee is non-refundable.

What is the difference between ticket waves?

Ticket waves usually provide the same entry, but the price increases as each allocation sells out. If a ticket includes something different, such as a drink or later entry, this will be clearly stated.

What kind of activities do you organise?

We organise community meet-ups, city tours, pub quizzes, karaoke, sports, cultural activities, parties, day trips and weekend trips. The programme changes throughout the semester, so there is usually something for different interests.

What should I do if I paid but did not receive my ticket?

Check your spam folder and make sure you are looking at the email address used during payment. If it is still missing, contact us with your name, email address and payment confirmation.

Where can I buy tickets?

Always use the booking link on our website or one shared through an official Erasmus in Prague channel. Your ticket or booking confirmation should then arrive by email.

Where can I find upcoming events and trips?

You can find everything on our Events page. We also share important updates through our WhatsApp announcement channel and Instagram.

Who do I contact if something breaks?

Contact your housing buddy via WhatsApp or phone, and our maintenance team will take care of it. For urgent issues (water leak, no heating, lock problems), call your housing buddy urgently.
