In Zambia, most houses, flats and apartments to rent are advertised by real estate companies as well as accommodation websites. You can search for a particular type of accommodation and contact the company or individual that has listed the property.

Other sources include the accommodation sections of newspapers, advertisements in shops and notice boards. You may also find available accommodation through word of mouth or 'To Let' signs on properties.

Accommodation agencies or letting agencies are commercial organisations that help you find private rented accommodation. They may charge you a fee.
