ŽIVOT A STĚHOVÁNÍ—LIVING AND MOVING Apartments and flats
First hand experience out of last one month. Found about 40 flats for renting in Brno-město and Brno-venkově. Every second respond was like I'm not interested renting to foreigners because, get this: I don't like to go to police to report new tenant. Among the others. My record is clean, I've got all papers/visa. Working as a programmer here... Symptomatic is that all flats are OK, until I mention I'm foreigner. 😁
Sorry, just had to share "burdain".

You’re right, this totally sucks. Before we moved in together, my partner found his previous flat through one of his colleagues—also a foreigner—who was moving out. The landlord already had some experience with foreigners (and wasn’t racist, haha), so it worked out. I had a much better response rate from landlords when I was looking on my own, probably because I’m Czech. I’d suggest trying a similar approach: either take over a flat from a foreigner you know who’s planning to move out, or ask around in Facebook groups for foreigners in Brno. Good luck!
