Interactive rent price map 2026

Between 2020 and 2025, rents in the Czech Republic rose significantly. While at the beginning of 2020 the average price was around CZK 250 per m², by mid-2025 it had increased to approximately CZK 310 per m² – a rise of around 25%. The year-on-year growth rate gradually accelerated, from a modest two percent in 2020 to six to eight percent between 2022 and 2024. The largest increases were recorded in major cities, where demand for rental housing has remained high over the long term. Growth is being driven by a combination of expensive owner-occupied housing, higher interest rates, insufficient construction and changing lifestyles, with more people choosing the flexibility of renting.
