You can rent your accommodation from a private owner (landlord) by :

• Agency: visits with a real estate agency are free of charge; but if you decide to rent the accommodation, you will have to pay an agency fee (generally equivalent to one month of rent).

Tip: Avoid using a list called "marchand de liste" : these are specialised agencies, also called "rental offices", which offer a list of accommodation in exchange for a sum of money but without any guarantee of finding accommodation at your convenience.

• AirBnb: https://www.airbnb.fr/
• Notary: Notaries propose housing for rent.
• Private owner: You can directly contact owners who list their rental advertisements online and avoid real estate agencies' fees.

Tip: Beware of scams; we advise you not to pay for your accommodation from abroad without having visited it. Legally, you should be asked no money for your first rent and/or the security deposit before signing the lease and the handover of the keys.
