House rental in the governorate of Manouba

At the western gates of Greater Tunis, the governorate of Manouba is one of the best plans for renting a spacious house without blowing your budget. Here, the price per square metre remains far gentler than in the neighbouring capital, and houses with a courtyard or garden are still the norm, whether in Manouba town, Denden or the farming towns of Tebourba and Mornaguia.

Students from the Manouba university campus, young couples or families in search of space: the listings published on Houni.tn cover the whole governorate. Compare rents delegation by delegation and find the house that suits you.

Why rent a house in Manouba

The first argument is the space-to-price ratio: for the rent of a small flat in Tunis, here you rent a whole house with two or three bedrooms and outdoor space. The second is the proximity of the Manouba campus: families and student flatshares alike appreciate living a few minutes from the faculties. Finally, the governorate remains well connected to central Tunis by the light metro (the Bardo and Denden line) and the Béja road, so you can work in the city while living in peace and quiet.

Where to look: the areas to know

• Manouba town: the governorate capital, practical for students and teachers, with shops, public offices and the historic Manouba palace close by.
• Denden: the most urban area, running on from Le Bardo, ideal for those working in Tunis.
• Oued Ellil: a good compromise, with many recent houses to rent and quick access to the ring road.
• Tebourba: a small-town feel on the banks of the Medjerda, traditional houses with courtyards, and some of the lowest rents in Greater Tunis.
• Mornaguia: a semi-rural setting sought after for houses with gardens and large plots, perfect for families with children.

Budget and viewing: the right reflexes

In Manouba, negotiating is still common practice: find out the going rents on the street before committing. During the viewing, check the water supply and drainage, especially in semi-rural areas, as well as the insulation of north-facing rooms. If you are a student, clarify the length of the lease and whether flatsharing is allowed from the outset. For a house with a garden, set out in writing who maintains the outdoor space and any well. A signed inventory when you move in will spare you any argument when it is time to get your deposit back.
