the first apartment was a dream😭
riiight?! i was stunned especially for the price!
Loved your video! Great info! Please move your camera slower though, it made it a little hard to view, thank you!
Thank you!
Yeah, sorry about that 😅 It was very awkward to film in front of the realtors but I wanted to film as much as possible. Will try better next time 🙌🏻
Those fees. Oh my goodness. It's like that in a lot of cities in the US, too. I've seen places that charge first & last month AND a security deposit that's essentially another month (and you won't be getting that back, no matter how nice you leave the place).
Yeah the security deposit is a scam at this point 😪
You don't have to pay for a guarantor !! My guarantors are my mom and my grandfather... and of course I don't pay them.
You do if you don't have anyone in France who can be your guarantor, so you have to pay for a guarantor service :/
Oh, yeah, I should've mentioned that if you have relatives/friends in France who can be your guarantor, surely you don't have to pay them, but otherwise, you do
How much was the 6th and 7th apartment?
in Germany it's actually normal for the security deposit to be 3x the rent without utilities
😱 That's so much money! Are tenants somehow protected from a landlord just making up reasons to not give the deposit back?
@@tanyanyanya the landlord has to tell you which things need fixing (also depends on your contract) and if you fixed them and payed your rent etc he has to give it back. If you broke something and didn't fix it he can have it repaired professionally and take the costs out of your deposit
@@helantopia sounds like a good deal, but scary anyway, so many horror stories about these deposits 😅 mine was also stolen once and nobody could do anything about it in the UK 😩
Switzerland as well

I’m sorry but did i got this right…? Are you looking for fully furnished apartments? Because i heard several times throughout the video that you complain about the tv or the fridge or the microwave or the couch. Is this normal in France?
Yes, I was looking for a fully furnished apartment and it is normal, yes. As you can see in the video, all of the apartments were fully furnished but some were lacking one thing or another so it’s just about choosing what you want to compromise or how much time/money you have to find the perfect apartment :)
Hey beautiful can i ask are you at paris for work? Or school...... I wanted to apply for job at Paris but i don't know wherebyo start from🥹
guarantor is usually a family member or friend isn't it?
can be, but I'm guessing they have to have a certain income and stuff like that. And if you don't have anyone in France it can be a company.
do you have to earn 3x the rent for your case?
oh, forgot to mention that, yes, you do
@@tanyanyanya thanks a lot for a reply! I just signed a contract work but my company is in the us. hopefully it's ok
@@entropy696 Good luck!
A rat frying cabbage in the sewers. Epic description!
the closest I could describe it haha 😅
The French invented bureaucracy.
I believe your expectations/requirements were totally unrealistic for Paris given your budget, which makes your comments sound ill-tempered.
FYI, what you call DIY walls are used to open up the space by knocking down non-weight-bearing structures and replacing them with steel and glass. This is common practice in Paris where apartments traditionally have a bunch of small, dark rooms. Hope someday you can find your “happy place.” Good luck!
How is it ill-tempered to have certain expectations? Especially since the first apartment met most of them, so that is in fact realistic.
No her expectations aren’t unrealistic with her budget she can have nice apartment in some nice Parisian close suburbs.
Haha 17:40 you will go crazy renting apartment in Switzerland…
oh, i can imagine! 🙈
A very big sketchy area😂
