Wendy Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi islandsuki, several people on this forum have had so much grief with long-term lets in this country that you may find it hard to find somewhere. If I was to contact you I would be asking for a huge deposit and several references. And you would not get the property until I had checked every single one of them. Good luck.

Russethouse Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 France has a long history of people being renters rather than buyers, there are many properties still available as lets and many French people are entirely comfortable with the process.Yes, some people here have reported bad/poor experiences, but don't let that put you off, people who find renting easy or normal rarely post to say so !

islandsuki Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi Russethouse,We've tried contacting some agents through the seloger.fr website.Unfortunately we've had no response so far.Our French is pretty poor which probably puts them off slightly!?Do you have any suggestions as to what else we could try?

suein56 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 We found our rented house through a small advert in the local paper - most of the newspapers have web-sites through which you can access all the property adverts.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
