Before your arrival, here’s what you need to know.
When considering renting an apartment in France, certain elements must be taken into account. First, ensure that your net salary is three times the amount of rent you plan to pay. Also, please note that upon signing the lease, you will need to pay:
- First month’s rent: You will need to pay the rent for the first month in advance at the time of signing the lease.
- Security deposit: This amount, held as a guarantee for the landlord, typically corresponds to one month’s rent for an unfurnished apartment and up to two months for a furnished apartment.
- Real estate agency fees: These fees cover the services provided by the agency to facilitate the rental process.
Discover below the essential recommendations for your arrival with peace of mind:
- Make sure all your personal documents are in order (ID/passport, birth and marriage certificates, etc.).
- Check that your travel documents are valid.
- Bring a plug adapter: In France, plugs are type E, with a standard voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz.
- Exchange currency before your departure to have euros available upon your arrival.
