Rental Market Guide
A community-curated guide by Iranian-Icelandic Community
Finding a Rental
The main platforms are Leiga.is, Facebook groups (Leiga/Rent in Iceland), and Hemnet.is. Competition is high — be prepared to act quickly when you find a suitable listing.
Average Prices (2025)
Studio: 150,000–200,000 ISK/month. 1-bedroom: 200,000–280,000 ISK/month. 2-bedroom: 280,000–380,000 ISK/month. Prices vary significantly by location and condition.
Deposits and Contracts
Standard deposit is 1–3 months' rent. Always get a written contract. The Tenant's Association (Leigjendafélagið) can review your contract for free. Ask in our community forum — members often know about available rentals before they are publicly listed.
