Rent control in Paris

Since 2019, the rent of a home let in Paris may not exceed the maximum reference rent set by the prefecture, according to the district, the number of rooms, the period of construction and the type of letting. A rent supplement is only possible for exceptional features, such as a large terrace or a rare view.

For each property we calculate the authorised rent and the rent actually achieved in the building and the district, so that it lets quickly and without risk of challenge.

Energy ratings: what changes for landlords

Since 1 January 2025, a home rated G can no longer be let under a new lease; homes rated F will follow in 2028 and E in 2034. Rents of F and G homes are frozen.

We point out the works that gain a rating, often simpler than you might think in an apartment: windows, ventilation, heating.

Unfurnished or furnished?

An unfurnished lease runs for three years, a furnished lease for one year (nine months for a student). Furnished lets command higher rents and often more favourable tax treatment, but require full furnishing and attract more mobile tenants.

We help you choose according to the apartment, the district and your plans. Our services are detailed on the property management page, our rates on the fees page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the maximum rent for my Paris apartment?
It depends on the district, the number of rooms, the year of construction and whether the home is let unfurnished or furnished. We tell you free of charge, with an estimate of the market rent.
Can you take over a property that is already let?
Yes. We take over the lease, the deposit and the documents from your current managing agent, with no interruption for the tenant.
Do you manage furnished apartments?
Yes, on standard annual furnished leases, and on bail mobilité leases for lets of one to ten months.
