Who gets the viewing in Lille, Paris or Bordeaux

Private landlords in busy French cities often receive more messages than they can read and invite the first few serious applicants. Replies that come later may never be opened. Seeing the ad early and answering with a complete file is the whole game.

Free checks one search every 30 minutes. Starter, at $5.99, checks five searches every 10 minutes. Pro, at $14.99, checks twenty with the fastest checks. All channels are on every plan.

Write a short message that sounds ready: your name, job or studies, move-in date, the fact your file is complete, and two times you could visit this week. Landlords skim, so put the facts first.

What a French landlord expects in your dossier

Usually: ID, your last three payslips or other proof of income, an employment contract or an employer’s letter, your latest tax notice and rent receipts from your current place. Students and new arrivals add their guarantor’s papers, or a certificate from a rent-guarantee scheme.

Keep all of it as one file on the computer you write from. When the alert mail lands, open the ad, write three lines and attach the file.

Never pay before you visit

No deposit, no first month and no frais de dossier before you have seen the flat and met the landlord or agency. A landlord abroad who mails the keys after a transfer is a scam you will meet more than once. Be careful with rent far below the area and with requests for your documents before any viewing.

Inbox tips for rental alerts

One address receives alerts on Free and Starter, three on Pro, so a partner or flatmate can get the same mail. Your provider decides where messages land: after the first match, check spam or promotions, mark the mail as wanted and add the sender to contacts.

File alerts with landlords’ replies in one folder and you always know which flat a conversation is about.
