If you are called to move here, Paris probably wants you 🥰🥰🥰

Hello Nicolette. Thank you for taking time to share this information. It was most helpful. ❤
Hello Nicolette, thank you for all the information. Excellent to know. Thank You for sharing all your ups and downs and ins and outs of your apartment finding journey in Paris. Hope you are well settled and happy.
Just to say that I experienced looking for a studio in Paris more than 20 years ago and it was a nightmare already. I found one after a month, and I lived in the same studio for 3 years there. When I had to leave, the landlord was so bumped because it's hard to find tenants that pay rent on time and don't make any problem to the neighbors, the landlord
How about a little video on how to set up a bank account without yet having an apartment? And/or how to get an apartment without yet having a bank account?
thanks, it was a very very detailed video!
Useful video but one thing I miss is what sort of payments do u have to make when u move in? Is it 1 or 2 months’ deposit, what percentage is agency fee if you are going with an agency, what bills are there to pay? Can u choose utility providers, do u need a landline for internet, how do you get back the deposit after moving out (any legal guarantee that the landlord gives it back). Do u do inventory check when u move in (etats de lieux or similar). Do u have to pay anything to reserve an apartment in advance to have it taken off the market? In London we have something called Holding Deposit that we lose if we change our mind.
Hi ! I don't think you mentioned the "encadrement des loyers". That's super super important to mention. The chambre de bonne you saw that cost 600e were probably above the encadrement and so illegal. Basically, rent can not surpass a certain amount per sqm, (landlords sometimes try to go around it with a "complément de loyer" but it's illegal). A lot of time rents on renting websites will be too high. It's possible to bring your rent down even after having signed your lease. If you look up encadrement des loyers there is info on the internet. PS never tell the landlord or the agency that you know the price is too high before you sign. They will just choose someone else.
Also I love your vibe and you kinda have a similar energy to Bestdressed!!
Deux mois pour trouver un appartement à Paris...bravo! C'est extrêmement difficile.
Thanks for the video. I think Paris might be cheaper than Austin as well
I’m not searching for housing in Paris but this was a super interesting video! I’m always curious how housing market is in other places!
Thank you for watching!
Hey! Thanks a lot for the video. This was very informative.
Question: what do you think about living in areas in the suburbs and working in a place in the 9th arr.? Any advice whatsoever from commute to closeness to a market or shops would be great.
Example of the areas are Bezons, La Defense, Bondy and Gagny.
Once again, thank you for this video!
I’m thinking of renting and this is so helpful ! Thank you…. May I know which camera you’re using to vlog this.? Love your vlog.
I'm glad it was helpful! I usually use a mixture of my iPhone (8) and a Canon G7x. For this particular video (the sitdown portion) I filmed on a Canon 5D, but recently have switched to just using the Canon G7x for both sitdown videos and vlogging.
I’m hungry waiting for some pancakes. You are pretty. I guess that’s why I’m patient waiting for the food
Hi @hellonicollette, thanks for the thorough info. In a couple months, my husband and I will move to Marseille. How about the market there? and if you could update related to the agent fee (if we look through them) and the typical deposit fee that would be a great addition.
Great vid. Very thorough. I used Paris Attitude and it was really helpful though maybe too expensive if you’re on a tight budget.
I'm glad to hear you found a place with them!
How is the weather there right now please? Wow you moved from usa. Takes great courage to move to another country.
If you knew before you came that it's hard to find an appartment in Paris. Would have you come here ?
