Whewwww, now THIS is a story. Spilling allll the tea about how I got kicked out of my first apartment in Paris (including a quick tour of the apartment, rent price, etc). Side note, I'm currently two and a half years into living in this city, and I've already lived in 4 different spaces - Paris, I love you... but goddamn.

Hey guys! I’m Tiff - a lover of food, travel, and good vibes. After traveling to Italy when I was 16, I made a promise to myself that I would live abroad before I was 30. And I made it happen! In 2017, I tapped out of my #PRgirl lifestyle to pursue an MBA in Paris. Yes, Paris! The timing was all too perfect. Jumping out of my comfort zone and moving to Paris, was the scariest thing that I’ve done in life thus far, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Now that I’m finally settling into life here, I’ve decided to refocus some of my energy on a project that I’ve been trying (and failing) to launch for a while - my CZcams channel! This channel is my outlet for sharing more about my life abroad and the life lessons learned along the way.
________

Hi mam I need a rent house please help me I have no living area me n my wife we are help less😓
I guess that's true all things happen for a reason 😊
You filming this video in a café giving no fcks with people sitting next to you and all is a VIBE!! haha love it
LOL omg this was one of my very first videos 🤣☠️. Literally had to do so many takes I know every around me was over it 😂
As of last year, Paris passed rent control for all long term rentals (longer than a year), you can find out the price you should be paying for the location, built, furnished or unfurnished using a calculator through the Marie's website. Don't want anyone to get ripped off in the future!
Very interesting to know about..Thank you Anna. I will try to find it. Cheers
God was clearing the deck, girl. Sometimes we don't move until we're pushed. So happy that things turned out well for you and that now you're in a good place.
100% agree!! I needed that push!!
I love the way you edited and told the story, giving me 90s black sitcom vibes 😍
Sounds like your landlord was infatuated with you and was heartbroken when you decided to leave! Good thing it ended the way that it did and not any worse.
Ahhh yikessss. So glad I'm out of there! x
Yeah. Dude was trying to play with you.
God is blessing you for your faith.
You're too polite to say it, so I'll say it for you. That little toad stole your cameras! He sounds creepy. Glad you got out of there.
I like your positive attitude & the idea/thought of things happening for a purpose.
*My advice: No matter if you are renting/buying in U.S., France, UK, etc. order a security camera from Amazon.
You definitely need to know if someone is coming into your place wherever you live, when you are not there*.
You will never know if "Mr. T." stole the cameras or if he never changes the locks on the studio ...considering he wasn't paying the Electric Bill, doesn't seem like he would pay for new locks/keys every time someone moved out.
You also might go through an agent & not go alone even if you don't have an agent to look at a place.
When you love coming home, you're in the right place!
🙌
I just wanted to compliment you on how maturely you handled this situation.
she could have suied his ass. Everything from begining to end was illegal, he could have faced jail time and he would have had to pay the rents back + 5000 euros.
Just found your channel! I studied French for 6 years and have visited Paris 3 times. Living there is a dream of mine! I’m an AA woman, semi-retired at 62 years old. It would be a huge change for me, however. It’s so nice to see you living and thriving there. Thank you for sharing your life in Paris. Blessings to you! 😊
That's absolutely amazing! It would be a change, but never too late! I hope you make it back out here soon :)
A blessing in the chaos. Going through something similar with a landlord, now buying a gorgeous condo because of it. Love love love your positvity!!!
So terrible that this happened to you! But I must say I am so happy to see someone like me also making videos in Paris! Binge watching your videos now. :-)
I just peeped your channel and so cool that you’re making videos about traveling and your experience abroad too 🙌🏾 I love it!!
Always have a paper trail and never pay in cash. I was hit hard twice a few years ago.
Lesson learned 😓. So insane, sorry that it happened to you as well.
Despite the horrible story, the video editing is really good. Use of various locations, no overload of flashy effects geared towards ADHD kids.
Thank you! Haha, tried to mix it up a bit with this one :)
I had ALMOST the EXACT experiment as you did in paris! Apartment owner can some times really take advantage of the fact that it can be difficult finding housing inside the city. I’ve lived in France for 10 years now, 5 years in Paris and this has happened to so many people I know
So insane!! Yeah, he would tell me all the time that if I tried to look for another apartment it would be too expensive, etc. so glad I’m out of there
Binge-watching your videos; love your spirituality & messages 😭💙
Thank you!! More to come! 🙌🏾
Looking a your NEW place now .. It was a blessing !
Always a blessing in the chaos!
I am currently going through a hellish, chaotic situation. Similar landlord story but worse and I am left homeless, staying with the most toxic family member I have. The stress has had me sick with headaches and fatigue and this family member is definitely talking behind my back in hopes that if no one is talking to me I can’t tell her disgusting horrible secrets....Your story has encouraged me. There is something better coming. Thank you.
Oh wow! Hoping your blessing comes sooner rather than later but just know it’s on it’s way! 🙌🏾
I’m so happy to hear everything worked out for you
I studied abroad in London( thankfully my flat was amazing and provided for by my uni already. It was a blessing but it's like that for most study abroad programs for US students), and can't even imagine how it would be to look for an apartment in Europe by myself oneday. But, luckily for you everything worked out well and how it was supposed to be. And, nothing truly bad happened with that crazy guy. It sucks how Paris makes it so hard for people to get a freakin apartment that people like you when first desperate need to resort to "under the table" kind of deals. Makes me so mad! I remember Damon Domunique another YTber talking about how difficult it was for even him! And, he was being supported or something by the French government to live and work in France ( I forget what the term is haha. ). On the one hand I get it but on the other hand it's crazy! I think for me from watching all these nightmare stories i would have to go through the legit route first finding a real rental agency in whatever country i live in one day and hopefully always look for a women landlord in Europe- cause people can be weird. Even women. But, more so men, unfortunately. Anywho, wish you all kinds of good and wonderful success in whatever you do! :)
Subscribed when you gave your inspirational words at the end. You are one strong woman. I have been through a lot in a lot of countries and coming out of my biggest challenge to date, really needed to hear that and from someone that looks and sounds like an angel. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️
This is the bizzarest thing! As I was watching your (terrific btw) video, I kept humming Fred Hammond’s Your Steps Are Ordered!!! And then u mentioned it! But what a nightmare u went through. Keep ya heeeeead up! ✊🏾
HRH Our steps are definitely ordered!! 🙌🏾 It was insaneeee 🤯, so glad to be out of that place!!
Dear Tiff, my Daughter and I have started watching you, we love Parisian life and we found you recently and we think you are great. So pleased you have that lovely new apartment. It's such a blessing you left the last place. Best wishes to you, you are adorable xx
I am so happy that you are out of that sketchy situation and landed in such a beautiful place.
Wow I wasn't expecting this ending. I have gone through similar situations with apartments and jobs. Each time God sent me somewhere better!
“Our steps aren’t ordered” A WORD! AMEN!!! *SUBSCRIBED* 🖤
Tiffanie I love your Attitude! You are awesome! I've had some experience with living in Paris also and boy oh boy can it really mess with one's emotional state! Good for you Tiffanie!! :)
Thank you! Ha yesss, so many ups and downs but all worth it in the end!
Wow, that guy sounds like a creeper. I'm so glad it worked out for you. Great message and thanks for sharing!
AuntieE Lol, yeah he was a strange one. Thank you really appreciate you! 🖤
This was right on time for me. Our steps are ordered. 🙌🏽
I am glad you are okay. Super scary. Glad you have a space you love.
I love your attitude! Thank you for sharing your story. And ur new home looks amazing!
Mr. T seems to have had a crush on you. What a creep!!
On the move Omg 😱🥴, my friend thought the same!! Soooo crazyyyy. I’m so happy to be out of there
Yeah that guy sounds sooo creepy!
Girrll!!!
@@TiffanieDavis
Was he a white French man?
I'm an international student in Canada, almost had the same situation but my landlady was far more reasonable. Just so happened that I moved out of the room I was renting in her house in Feb and the pandemic lockdown started in March. God is great! You are absolutely gorgeous btw!
Bless you honey, that's great! Please report him to the police.
So glad it worked out in the end
I am a witness to that! Chaos has recently led me to my greatest home yet!!!! I won't give details, but it's now wonderful!!!! I plan on spending a month in Paris, when travel is safer! All of you tips are needed!!!!
Your landlord sounds like a creepy guy, exploited your rights as a tenant. This guy needs to be black listed.
OMG you were in Cergy !! That's where I studied, Thank God you moved out from there, it's so bad 😭 and now you're living you best life in Paris !!
I love your story. It’s refreshing, some people who live abroad are not as resilient, sometimes you have to take what life throws at you and run with it.
Love your story! God has you in the palm of his hand!
Thank you!! Yass! Magic in the madness 🙌🏾
Got kicked out from home about to get my own house...amazing!!!
The struggle is real, but worth it!
Same here Melissa!!! Glad it worked out for you.
I love the way you filmed this video!!! So entertaining. So happy I found your channel
I also had a couple of bad landlords. Glad you got through this to something better.
I always believe..."Everything happens for a reason"! 😊💕
Yess! Same!
“Our steps aren’t ordered” yesss! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yaaaas! Loved the end of this video! So needed that positive message right now. And I'm sure I'm the 1000-th person to say this but your hair is BEAUTIFUL!
Thank youuu!! And yesss girl there's always a blessing in the chaos! x
Love the way you filmed it, with the diff settings
Just think of it as lesson learned. Look at what you have now! I LOVE Paris and I am glad you are making it there. Please have a great time and enjoy your new place!
100%! A huge learning definitely came out of this one. Glad to be in a better place and thank you!
I love how you turned lemons into lemonade. You're such a vibrant soul. Glad it all worked out for you.
Yesss!! Lemons into lemonade!! Thank you 🙏🏾
Stay safe, doll. I love your channel. Just subbed. Thank you for your videos and for sharing your experiences 💛
I love how positive you are! Always looking at the bright side! Your videos are so informative thanks so much!
Thank you! So glad you’ve been enjoying them!
I’m currently going through a chaotic time in my life. Your words of faith and testimony are so encouraging at this moment. I’m going to hold this word in my heart, that the enemy doesn’t steal it. Our Step Are Ordered By The LORD. Thank you, and pray that blessings fall on you that you do not have room to receive . Pour out out LORD.
Im so happy to across your page.I have been living in Paris for the last two years .Im from Arizona so i moved back during COVID so im missing Paris so much! Bisou bisou.

Thank you so much!
Beautiful, you’re so positive in life, your faith keeps you strong. Stay safe.💓
Thank you so much!!
He wanted you and felt rejected because you didn't have feelings for him. It's good that you got out of that situation...
Loved your story and you’re right. When stuff happens we need to be looking for the blessing that’s on the way!!!
Thanks, Tiff! For keeping it real with us! Good information to know!
Tiff, this was God helping you. Give him the praise .HE kept and sustained you and even now with the new business and life.
i just stumbled onto this video randomly going through CZcams and i know it's an old video but i really needed to hear that Take Away message today.
You’re gorgeous, love hearing your stories, I wish I’d been so brave at your age and LOVE your positive attitude 💜💜💜💜
Thank you for this message I needed to hear this. Waiting for my something better
I am very happy your story has a happy ending. Sorry about your cameras. You are right count your blessing when you are going thru something. It will work out in the end in your favor and it sounds like it really did.
Exactly!! There’s always a blessing in the chaos! 🙌🏾
I’m so sorry you had to deal with that however God is so good and I’m happy you found a place for you! I just happened to find your videos and now I’m a fan and you have a new subscriber. I will be moving to London next year and it’s nice to see an American traveling and moving abroad thank you for sharing your experience.
Yesssss to all of this! I' planning to finally move to Paris soon to be with my long distance bf. Thank you for giving the highs and lows.
When you showed us the size of that apartment .... oh no!!! 😂😂 He knew he was wrong trying to play like two or more people could fit in that space.
ETA: Thank you for sharing your story. I don’t think I could have made it through all of that. Your new apartment looks gorgeous just from little bit we can see in the frame.
Lol right!! You're so welcome, it was a nightmare but hey there's always magic in the madness.
Thank youu I did a full apartment tour in another video: czcams.com/video/Ie3LRP5ycS8/video.html
Woow that is a story and you are a great story teller 👍🏾
Your story is giving me so much needed faith right now!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Also please drop that lipstick shade it's 🔥🔥🔥
Just discovered your vlog. Good on you that things have turned out for the better! Those kind of messed up arrangements can really affect a person and its amazing how you've managed to keep it together. I would've been too distraught and let it all get to me. Have also just moved and started living in France but South in the countryside, Burgundy area, from Malaysia. It's still a big learning curve. Kudos to your positive spirit! Something I need to get better at.
Wow, I am so very sorry to hear about your tough time but very happy to know that you found something much better! That apartment that you showed was so little and to think your problems about it were so big,
Bonjour! Thank you for your videos! I've learned so much! Btw, I'm an upcoming Global MBA Student at EBS Paris. I'm also having a hard time in looking for an apartment/studio/chambre. Got some bad experience with Landlords in the portal we're using for the accommodation. I'll take into consideration also harassment issues and the like that I might experience. God bless you.
Yesss, Trust in the process!! I came here from your dating in paris video. Safe to say I am so happy you got out of this and into a situation that led you to find your Bf
I love your positive perspective on everything! I adore this channel! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
That takeaway at the end there, girl it made me tear up. Anyways, thanks for this beautiful video.. Also love how you filmed in different places
Wow you’re editing skills are amazing! Love the wait you tell stories it doesn’t drag or anything like that...anyway loving your channel! ...thinking of doing an MBA program in Europe 🥰😍
oh my GOSH I just found your channel and im already in love
Great attitude, so positive!
Just here to say I'm proud of you. Keep it up! Also, great storytelling structure!
Thank you so much babe!! Really appreciate it ❤
I couldn’t use my CB in the US except to pay at Walmart !!! But as you said, we survive 🙂
What! That's crazy that it only worked at Walmart!! Lol, yeah girl, just go to push through 😅
I love your channel❤️ I live in California, I’ve been to Paris twice and I hope I can visit there again. I’m so glad I found you
I love your attitude and perspective! How blessed you are and thank you for sharing your journey!
Thank you so much and happy to share my story in this way! xx
You are a beautiful, brilliant, fearless and wise young woman. May G-d continue to bless and prosper you in France.
You are too sweet thank you SO much!
Glad to know everything worked out for you at the end 😊 I’ve been living in Paris for 4 years now
It makes me sad how many corrupt people there are in this world. It’s great that you had friends to support you!
Thank You! I needed this today... wish you all the best. Greez from Germany/ Hamburg.
I am so sorry this happened to you. I.m french and I live in Paris. You still can sue this man. But I guess it's not worth it
So glad that you got out of that house.
Loved the last line. ♥️
Stay blessed!! Love from India 🇮🇳♥️
Yeah Paris is cutthroat for apartments. I just moved up from Bordeaux, and despite both my partner and I having CDI contracts, more than 3x the rent in joint monthly revenue, it was a rough ride finding a place to live. You basically have to have all the documents they could want at the ready to apply as soon as you visit the place. And then they could still choose someone else with better income or that the landlord likes better. We only got an edge over others because both our jobs are "coronavirus safe" and if the stay at home order is reinstated, our job security will not be affected, so we could still pay rent.
Love your stories. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Great storytime! Thank you.
I like your videos. I can relate to what you’ve gone through. I stayed in Paris a couple of years, by myself for a while. All your experiences sound very familiar. Keep doing ya thang, girl! We’ll keep watching! 🤓
Ahh, the Paris struggleeee. Thanks babe, appreciate your support!!
Obviously dude was besotted & thought you'd see him as a hero & you'd be eating out his palm in no time. He probably thought sitting in on your lessons was you 2 being on a date. Dude you really had a lucky escape!! I too try to look at horrid situations with a 'something great is going to happen soon'. Which I'm not going to lie, when the bad drags on for long or you're surrounded by negative mindsets, it does become tough to do.
You have such a great attitude. Thanks for the encouragement at the end. 😃
OMG! I am sorry you went through this! Regardless, I am super jealous of you Parisian life!
I love what you ended on - something i constantly need to keep in mind and learn in my walk as a believer.
Yass! Always a blessing in the chaos! 🙌🏾
Great video! Im s glad your positive arttitude brought you love and a great. Home you love! Awesome!!
I appreciate how you see silver linings. Good girl. You will always land on your feet. Amen
Holy crap this is crazy! Im so happy it turned out!
You're being really really nice in telling this story! Girl, he was not legit, shady as hell, Creepy AF and a DAMN thief! There, said it for you!
Love the format of this video. Très mignonne! 🥰
Merci bcpppp :) It was fun to create, but also a process haha
