We Can Find Your Ideal Long-Term Rental
Rental apartments in sought-after cities like Paris and Nice, as well as smaller towns around France, are difficult to find—and even more difficult to secure if you’re not a local. Tap into our expert resources to find your rental home in France.
What are Long-term Rentals?
Long-term rentals are any furnished or unfurnished property available for rent from 1 to 3 years. (Rentals from one to 10 months in Paris fall under the regime of “mobility lease” and are designed for tenants staying for business or education purposes.) Rental properties are hard to come by in certain areas of France, particularly in Paris and Nice where there is a housing shortage, and even more so in other areas of France where landlords are adverse to working with foreign tenants. Accepting a rental property may require an immediate decision because of limited availability. The landlords’ requirements to guarantee rental payments can seem daunting and expensive to foreign tenants, especially if the tenant doesn’t have a set income or salary in France. These include a “Guarantor” or a year’s worth of rent held in an escrow account with a local bank. One must provide proof of disposable income at least three times the monthly rent

What We Do for You
We can assist you in finding apartments in high-demand cities like Paris or Nice, as well as elsewhere in France, based on your preferences, budget, and needs. We will ask you to complete a questionnaire to determine your specific desires and consult with you as well as advise. We’ll then perform an apartment search and selection, provide you with photos and descriptions, and set up visits for you (if possible), or for us to visit for you. Plus, we will negotiate the lease on your behalf.
For an additional fee, we will set up all your utilities (electricity, gas, phone, Internet, TV, etc.) to make your transition as easy and worry-free as possible. We also have resources on the ground who can facilitate other aspects of your move.
Start your process with a one-on-one consultation with Adrian Leeds or a member of the ALG team. We’ll put you in the right direction and answer your most important questions.
