Frequently Asked Questions
Renting sight unseen can feel like stepping into the unknown, risking unpleasant surprises and potential scams. With over a decade of experience handling Paris properties, I provide you with expert advocacy and an impeccable reputation that speaks volumes. My established relationships with local real estate professionals give your application the credibility and weight it deserves. When I represent you, landlords and agents listen, doors open, and your relocation becomes seamless, secure, and worry-free.
Long-term rentals are highly sought after, particularly in Paris. Typically, furnished apartments have leases lasting one year, while unfurnished properties usually have leases of three years. Note that unfurnished apartments may or may not include essential kitchen appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, or ovens. Due to their limited availability, quick decision-making is often essential. Landlords frequently require robust financial guarantees, such as proof of income at least three times the monthly rent, a local guarantor, or holding up to one year’s rent in escrow.
Short-term rentals typically last anywhere from a few weeks up to several months, providing flexibility during transitional periods. Whether you’re temporarily relocating for work, waiting for your furniture to arrive, or taking your time to explore neighborhoods before committing to a long-term lease, I can help secure comfortable and convenient short-term accommodations tailored specifically to your needs.
