Rent in Paris

Apartment rentals are very common in Paris and the rest of France. As a matter of fact, 36% of the French population does not own a home, instead opting to rent apartments, houses, or condos. People in Paris enjoy a high standard of living at a reasonable cost. Depending on the apartment's location, style, furnishings, etc., the monthly rent for a two-bedroom unit can range from three thousand to ten thousand euros.

About neighborhood:

The Champs Elysées isn’t only about the dazzling lights and high-end shops; it’s also home to some local-loved bars, cool coffee shops, and upscale nightclubs. Whether you want to people-watch on the terrace of a sidewalk cafe or indulge in scrumptious sweets in a luxurious tea room, the area around Paris’s most iconic avenue has something for you. Luxury boutiques and flagship stores line the Champs Elysées. Among the world-renowned fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel, you’ll find exquisite perfume shops and high-end department stores. From the latest fashion trends to timeless scents, this is where to come for an unparalleled Parisian shopping experience. This is where Parisian luxury and leisure converge, offering some truly exceptional experiences to unwind. Spend an evening at an incredible cabaret or let your worries melt away in one of the many five-star spas in the area. The world-renowned Avenue des Champs Elysées is the spine of this busy Paris neighborhood. The “most beautiful avenue in the world” runs for nearly a mile between the Place de la Concorde and the Place de l’Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe stands. The perfectly aligned path of monuments continues west to the Arche de la Défense, another two miles down the line. While the Champs Elysées and surrounding streets offer many elegant restaurants, luxury hotels, and upscale cafés, the area around Ternes and the Parc Monceau has a much more charming and authentic atmosphere, if you ask us.

Challenges:

Moving to Paris as an expat can be exciting yet challenging.

Paris Rental has prepared a summary of essential life tips to integrate Parisian life and make an enjoyable transition smoothly. Finding suitable housing in Paris is another big challenge for expatriates. The competitive Paris rental real estate market, high demand, high rent prices, lack of guarantors, and language barrier can make renting an apartment in Paris very challenging for expats. Cultural awareness is critical to adapting smoothly. Reading books, watching movies, or watching TV shows about French culture can help you understand the subtleties of French life, making you feel more prepared and knowledgeable as you embark on your Parisian adventure.

Apartment Rental Made Simple With Zipple!

Renting an apartment in Paris as an expatriate is never easy, especially if you don't have a local French guarantor. In France, most landlords require tenants to provide a "garant" (guarantor), someone who agrees to cover unpaid rent in case of default. Without a guarantor, securing a lease in France can feel like an uphill battle. However, understanding your options can make the process much smoother. This guide will explore practical solutions to help expats find housing in Paris without a local guarantor.

In France, the role of a guarantor is crucial in the rental process. Property owners and agencies require this financial backup as a safeguard against unpaid rent, particularly in a market where eviction laws tend to favor tenants over landlords; for example, during winter months (trêve hivernale), the law protects tenants from being forced out even if they stop paying rent. The guarantor requirement is even stricter for expatriates, as landlords see them as a higher-risk category due to their foreign income and lack of French credit history.
Typically, landlords ask for a guarantor who is a French resident with sufficient income (usually three times the rent) and a stable financial history. This requirement can be a significant hurdle for expats who may not have family or close friends in France willing or able to act as a guarantor. So, Zipple presented as a "guarantor" for this deal. That's why we found an apartment for our client very quickly.
