Properties for Rent in Bat Yam

Bat Yam is one of the most relevant alternatives to Tel Aviv for renting an apartment: adjacent to the city to the south, with 3 km of beaches, rents 30 to 40% lower than Tel Aviv, and perfect connectivity (5 minutes by car, direct buses, future red line of light rail). The city is undergoing complete urban transformation with numerous Pinui-Binui projects delivering modern towers.

Bat Yam's rental market attracts young Tel Aviv professionals seeking value for money, families, executives and short-term rental investors. Leases follow standard Israeli rules: 12 months, post-dated checks, 1-3 month deposit, Vaad Bayit and Arnona paid by tenant.
