Andorra TikTok Video Exposes Skyrocketing Rental Prices
Street interviews reveal residents paying €840–€1,600 monthly for subpar housing across parishes, reigniting debate on affordability crisis.
Key Points
- €840 for uninhabitable studio in Sant Julià de Lòria.
- €1,400 for 3-bed flat in Escaldes-Engordany, value questioned.
- €1,100 for 55m² apartment; €1,600 for spacious 3-bed in Soldeu.

A TikTok video featuring street interviews in Andorra has reignited debate over soaring rental prices, with residents describing monthly costs that often exceed expectations given the properties' size, condition, or location.
The footage captures a range of experiences across parishes, highlighting the challenges of finding affordable housing. One person in Sant Julià de Lòria pays €840 for a studio without bedrooms, describing it as "technically uninhabitable." Another in Escaldes-Engordany spends €1,400 on a three-bedroom flat with a good terrace but questions whether the price matches its true value.
Rents for smaller units also draw complaints. A resident reported €1,100 monthly for a 55-square-metre apartment, without further details on its features. Higher costs prevail in mountain areas: in Soldeu, one individual pays €1,600 for a spacious three-bedroom home with two bathrooms, a balcony, fireplace, and large dining area. Meanwhile, a two-bedroom flat in Arins commands €1,400 including expenses, despite lacking any outdoor access.
These accounts underscore a rental market where high prices frequently outpace quality or amenities, fueling ongoing concerns about housing accessibility in the principality.
