Tell me, please, we plan to come as tourists, then get a student visa: we will be able to withdraw for a long time (6 months, maybe even immediately for a year) on a tourist visa? Do the owners of apartments and houses look at the terms of the visa?

Visa terms are not looked at. It's just that the usual practice is that renting for a long time goes at a lower price. But they may require you to make an advance payment several months in advance.

You can rent at least for 5 years and not come, the main thing is money for them.
