Apartments for rent in Mahdia

Outside the capital, Mahdia governorate has few apartment blocks. Ksour Essef, El Djem, Chebba and Essouassi were built as individual houses, and what a listing there calls an apartment is most often a floor of a house with an outside staircase. Apartment rentals in Mahdia in the sense of a home in a residence, with a lift and parking, are therefore concentrated in Mahdia delegation, between Zouila, the Rejiche road and the tourist zone of Hiboun.

This page gathers apartments for rent across the whole governorate, posted by owners and agencies, with direct contact. The supply varies with the weeks and with the season: plentiful furnished lets in summer, tighter for yearly lets. Knowing which market you are searching in saves a lot of time.

Mahdia town: studio, S+1 or S+2 depending on the neighbourhood

Anyone looking for an apartment to rent in Mahdia to live in looks first at Zouila and Erremal, close to the market, the schools and the Sahel metro station. The buildings there are twenty or thirty years old, rents generally stay below those of Monastir, and the S+1 for rent in Mahdia is the format most contested by civil servants and young couples. A studio for rent in Mahdia is rarer, since there is no large student population, and goes quickly at the start of the academic year near the institutes.

The Rejiche road is lined with recent residences, with S+2 units that are more expensive but better insulated, often owned by diaspora families who accept a twelve month lease. For rents neighbourhood by neighbourhood, the page for apartments for rent in Mahdia delegation goes further.

By the sea: summer furnished, winter furnished

Searches for an apartment for rent in Mahdia by the sea, very numerous in Arabic, often target the summer, sometimes by the day. This market exists, mainly in Hiboun and Rejiche, but it follows different prices and rules from the yearly let. Some owners switch from October to May to long furnished lets, at much lower rents: a good formula for a semester of work or an assignment, provided you have read the move out date set in the contract.

A furnished apartment by the year remains more expensive than an unfurnished one and is found mostly in these holiday residences. Ask for the inventory, the condition of the air conditioning and what the residence charges cover, pool and security included.

Ksour Essef, Essouassi and inland: the house floor

In Ksour Essef, the apartment for rent is a floor built by a family above its own home, or an S+2 in a small residence on the edge of town. Rents are gentler than in Mahdia, a quarter of an hour's drive away, which attracts employees from the capital; in summer, Salakta lets by the week. The apartments for rent in Ksour Essef show both seasons.

In Essouassi, as in Bou Merdes or El Djem, the house floor with a separate entrance is the rule and the rent is among the lowest in the region. You live above the owner: settle the use of the roof terrace, the gate and the meters at the viewing. The apartments for rent in Essouassi illustrate this very local market, where many floors are let through personal contacts.

Calendar, lease and checks

The governorate follows the rhythm of job transfers and the academic year: yearly listings multiply from late August to October, then become scarce. Between June and September, part of the coastal supply switches to summer lets and disappears from the yearly market. If you arrive in spring, owners of empty apartments are more willing to negotiate.

Ask for a written and registered contract, with rent, deposit, term and notice period, and do a check in inspection with photos. Near the sea, look at the damp on north facing walls and the condition of the doors and windows; inland, the insulation of the top slab. To share an apartment with others, flat sharing in Mahdia governorate has its own page, and the apartments for rent in Tunisia serve as a benchmark.
