Louer et acheter un logement en France — loyers types, dépôts, contrats et règles officielles de location.
French residential leases (bail) are governed by the law of 6 July 1989 — unfurnished leases run three years and furnished leases one year. The official ANIL/ADIL network gives free housing-rights advice, and the security deposit is capped by law. There is no nationality restriction on renting or buying; a notaire handles property purchases.
- The security deposit (dépôt de garantie) is capped at one month's rent for unfurnished and two months for furnished lets.
- Landlords often require a guarantor (garant) or the free state-backed Visale guarantee; income is typically expected at ~3× the rent.
- Foreigners may buy property without restriction; the purchase is completed before a notaire.
