Yes, foreigners can generally rent longer stay accommodations in Florence, whether they are staying for work, study, retirement, or other purposes. However, there may be certain requirements and procedures to follow, similar to renting in other parts of Italy.
Here are some key points to consider:
Documentation: Landlords or rental agencies may require certain documents from tenants, such as a valid passport or identification, proof of income or financial stability, and possibly a rental contract or lease agreement.
Visa or Residence Permit: If you're a non-EU citizen, you may need to provide proof of your visa or residence permit status to rent accommodation for a longer stay. Some landlords may request this documentation to ensure that you have legal permission to stay in the country.

Rental Contract: You'll likely need to sign a rental contract or lease agreement, which outlines the terms and conditions of the rental arrangement. Be sure to review this document carefully before signing and ask any questions you may have.
Language: While English is commonly spoken in Florence, especially in tourist areas and among younger generations, knowledge of Italian may be beneficial when dealing with landlords or rental agencies, as some documentation and communication may be in Italian.
