Houses for rent in Ezzouhour

In Ezzouhour, you rent a house the way people live in one there: with a courtyard, an iron door onto the street, a roof terrace and neighbours you quickly get to know. The delegation covers a large part of Kasserine's working-class housing, from the Ezzouhour Est and Ouest estates to Cite Tayarane, and most houses there were built by the families themselves, often in several stages.

A house to rent in Kasserine in this area is found mostly through connections or private listings. On Houni, owners post themselves and you reach them directly to arrange a visit. The supply of whole houses varies and is narrower than that of upper floors. To widen the search to the whole town and the neighbouring delegations, browse the houses to rent across the Kasserine governorate.

The Ezzouhour house, single-storey or two-storey

The most common house is built on a modest plot, terraced, with three or four rooms around a small courtyard, a kitchen and a bathroom. Many have had an upper floor added, finished or not, and the owner then lets either the whole house or just one level. If you want the complete house, check in the listing that the upper floor is not already occupied by another tenant or a family member.

More recent houses, in the Ezzouhour Ouest extensions, offer larger rooms, a garage and sometimes a small front garden. They draw the families of managers and civil servants who want space without paying town-centre prices. For a single person or a couple without children, an upper floor or a studio is often enough, and the page of accommodation to rent in Ezzouhour brings those options together.

Choosing your estate to suit daily life

In Ezzouhour, the estates look alike from a distance but not day to day. In the oldest parts, everything is within walking distance: bakery, grocer, primary school, mosque, shared taxis. The streets are narrow and parking is sorted out in front of the door. In the more recent extensions, the streets are wider, but some stretches remain unsurfaced and street lighting can be lacking.

Cite Tayarane has its own habits and a population of long-established families. Before signing, make the journey to the children's school and to your workplace, in the centre of Kasserine or towards the industrial zone, at rush hour.

The rent for a house in Ezzouhour stays at the lower end of the scale for inland towns. It most often ranges from a few hundred dinars for a simple house to a higher sum for a recent house with a garage, without reaching the levels of Sfax or Sousse.

The Kasserine winter, criterion number one

Kasserine lies more than six hundred metres above sea level, and winters there are harsh, with cold nights from December to February. A poorly insulated single-storey house, with a flat roof lacking recent waterproofing, quickly becomes damp and hard to heat. During the visit, look at the ceilings, the corners of the walls and the condition of the window and door frames. Ask how previous tenants heated the place and factor that budget into your sums.

In summer, the heat is dry and water cuts are not unusual in some estates: a tank on the roof is a real plus.

Lease and handing over the keys

Draw up a tenancy contract registered at the tax office, stating the rent, the term, the deposit and how repairs are shared. Ezzouhour owners generally ask for one or two months' deposit, sometimes a month's rent in advance.

Carry out a written inventory on the day you move in, note the water and electricity meter readings, and keep your rent receipts. If the house belongs to several heirs, make sure the one signing has the agreement of the others.
