Accommodation prices only to be adjusted for inflation in 2026
In spite of increasing costs, Masaryk University is not planning to increase the accommodation prices as such. The rent in 2026 will only reflect the inflation rate according to the data published by the Czech Statistical Office.
Pursuant to Article III Clause 8 of the contract of accommodation, the application of the inflation clause applies to all residents, as unanimously agreed at the November session of the Accommodation Board. The Czech Statistical Office is expected to announce the inflation rate in the second half of January 2026. The new price list, with the inflation clause applied, shall take effect on 1 February 2026.
The inflation clause is included in the accommodation contracts signed by all residents. “The purpose of the clause is to compensate the loss of the value of money. And since we cannot estimate the date of the announcement of the inflation rate, all residents will receive an e-mail by the end of January with the price list effective as of February 2026,” Head of Accommodation at ACS Renata Pavlicová says.
Included in the accommodation rates are all services, including utilities and costs of operation of the premises and facilities.
“The operating costs of the dormitories continue to rise, but we do not want to burden students with higher fees. Our aim is to provide sustainable accommodation while maintaining a high level of social sensitivity,” says Masaryk University Bursar David Póč.
ACS renovates and modernises its dormitories on a continuous basis, typically during summer. More information of renovations can be found here.
The Rules of Accommodation will be subject to minor amendment and update of definitions of terms as of 1 January 2026 (more here). More information can be found in the minutes of the meeting of the Accommodation Board on 27 November 2025.
