6.1. Decide Your Market
The main sources for finding a tenant are clearly going to depend on the type of property you have to offer, its location and the type of tenant you are seeking.
A prestigious flat in the centre of Paris may need to be advertised nationally, whilst a small village house in a rural location may only require an advert on the local notice board.
You also need to decide whether you are going to let the property furnished or unfurnished and whether you intend to advertise to an international market.
Most of the demand from the French community is for unfurnished property, whilst most international tenants seek furnished lettings.
Nevertheless, there is an increasing market for unfurnished property from international tenants who rent a property whilst they decide finally if they really want to relocate and, if so, take their time about finding a suitable property.
Top Tip!
Many expats have generally considered that it is safer to let furnished property as the law is less severe.
Since changes in the law were introduced in 2005 this is no longer the case, provided the property is the principal home of the tenant.
Tenants of a furnished letting are now afforded similar protection to that of tenants in unfurnished lettings.
