How to find a new rental apartment?

\r\n

Go through a rental management agency

\nWhile many prefer to go through an individual to find their accommodation and avoid paying agency fees, landlords can be much more demanding regarding the profile of their future tenant. You also have to adapt to their availability. \n\nBy going through an agency, the professional saves you time in your research and can offer a range of apartments to rent. \n\nA rental management agency also draws up the rental agreement and ensures the solvency of the tenant, the collection of documents, the recovery of the deposit and the rent. It ensures the technical monitoring of the rented property and, if necessary, brings in a professional for any repairs to be carried out. \n\nRental management services also take care of the review of rents, in a safe and legal manner, as well as the inventory of fixtures at the start and end. \n\nA keen expert in the different specificities of a new home, the rental manager specializing in new real estate is aware of the latest standards, the different guarantees and the rental conditions of the Pinel law. \n

What are the conditions to be met by the tenant?

\nYou have understood: not everyone can claim to rent a Pinel apartment. \n\nThe future tenant must provide proof of resource conditions not exceeding an annual income ceiling applied (depending on the eligibility area). He must also have his own tax household. If the tenant is related to the owner of the property, he must not be part of his tax household. \n\nAnother specificity is that the property must be occupied as a main residence (i.e. at least 8 months of the year). \n\nFor a student, the owner only looks at the resources of the potential tenant with regard to the ceilings of the system. Therefore, in the case where the tenant is fiscally attached to his parents, it will be necessary to observe only the resources of the tenant of the title of the reference year (year N-2 on the day the lease is concluded). \n\nRead also: Home loans in 2021: will rates increase with the crisis?\n
