An article that explains the monthly expenses of a high-end apartment in Paris
Many clients often ask us about the cost of owning an apartment in Paris. Roughly speaking, there are four major expenses for holding an apartment: the expenses required for the operation of the apartment itself (property sharing costs, electricity and Internet fees, insurance, cleaning and maintenance costs for the interior of the apartment), major construction costs of the building, and taxes (land tax, residence tax, property wealth tax), and some other expenses (apartment rental management fee, butler service fee).
Today, we will take a high-end apartment of 100 square meters and a value of 2 million euros in the Saint-Germain district of the Left Bank as an example to explain in detail what the daily maintenance of the apartment will cost (do not confuse it with the cost of buying an apartment Oh).

"Dry Goods" Paris Housing Rental Investment Strategy (3): What are the costs of renting a house?

2. Rental brokerage fee
In the last issue, we talked about the two leases of Bail Alur and Code Civil adopted in France. The rent restriction order (Bail Alur) is bound by Loi Alur, while the civil law lease (Code Civil) is relatively more flexible and is negotiated by the landlord and the tenant. The rental brokerage fee is also determined by the two contract types, in general, the Bail Alur lease brokerage fee is regulated by the government, and the Code Civil lease brokerage fee is more flexible. The main charging standards are as follows:
Essence summary
Code Civil is more advantageous
- Since the rental agreement in Paris is generally more biased towards the interests of the tenant, the use of Code Civil can protect the interests of the landlord to a certain extent. For example, if the tenant does not pay the rent or does not abide by the terms of the lease, the landlord can evict the tenant according to the lease agreement;
- Civil law leases are more flexible, allowing parties to negotiate more freely on contract terms, such as rent level, lease term, deposit amount, whether to pay rent in advance, etc.;
- But it should be noted that when the tenant is a company, the lease is directly related to the employment status of the tenant, and when the employment relationship of the tenant is terminated, the contract is directly terminated. When a tenant is an expat, the rent and deposit are paid by their company, so these tenants will be more mindful of protecting your property.
