Accommodation costs are one of the largest expenditures a company may face when sending an expatriate abroad.

When costing an assignment, accommodation accounts for as much as 26% of expenditure and in some cases, the cost of accommodation may exceed the expatriate’s salary!
ECA’s accommodation reports are a guide to the costs and problems of renting expatriate accommodation in cities around the world.

The reports are based upon live data, concentrating on areas and types of accommodation favoured by expatriates. To ensure impartiality and maintain accuracy of information, data from independent sources has been used to compile the reports, as well as data collected from expatriates themselves.

The following table (taken from the London report) is representative of the content within each report:
