Why SYG Conseils

Renting in Paris from abroad is hard. We make it simple.

Paris agencies usually ask for three French payslips, a permanent contract and a French guarantor. Most newcomers have none of these. We work differently.

No agency fees

We only work with flats let directly by private landlords, including off-market properties shown to you first.

No French guarantor needed

We back your application with a professional Garantme guarantee, often stronger than a personal guarantor in the landlord's eyes.

Viewings by live video

We attend viewings for you and show you the flat live. We submit your application on the spot.

Tenancy checked by lawyers

Your tenancy agreement is drafted and reviewed by our legal team, and we handle the check-in inventory.

Pay only on success

Nothing upfront, no application fee. Our fixed fee is only due when you sign your tenancy agreement.

One contact, in English

Your dedicated flat hunter answers your questions in English from the first call to the keys.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a flat in Paris without French payslips?

Yes. No law requires French payslips or a permanent French contract. We present your foreign employment contract, payslips and tax returns so a private landlord can see your real income, and we target landlords who let directly rather than letting agents bound by insurers' criteria.

I don't have a guarantor in France. What can I do?

We add a professional Garantme guarantee to your application. For landlords it is often more reassuring than a personal guarantor. With the Turnkey package, the first year of the guarantee is included.

Can I find a flat before arriving in Paris?

Yes. With the Serenity and Turnkey packages, we attend viewings for you and show you the flat on a live video call. You only travel to move in.

When do I pay?

Only on success, when you sign your tenancy agreement. Nothing upfront and no application fee. If we don't find you a flat, you pay nothing.

Are there letting agent fees on top?

No. We only work with flats let directly by private landlords, so there are no agency fees. As with any let, you pay the deposit directly to the landlord.

How long does the search take?

With Serenity and Turnkey, we find your flat within 15 working days, starting from the day your application file is complete.
