Property management in Paris means entrusting the administration of a property to a specialist agency. It covers tenant search, drafting the lease, rent collection, administrative monitoring, maintenance coordination and legal assistance. In Paris, with its highly regulated rental market (rent controls, mandatory energy certificates, ELAN law), working with a local professional is strongly recommended.

Paris has one of the most regulated rental markets in France: rent controls by district, mandatory energy performance certificates and strict rules on recoverable charges. Entrusting your Paris property to Paris Fudosan Gestion means benefiting from over 35 years of experience in this specific market, an in-depth knowledge of Parisian districts and rigorous compliance monitoring. We manage several hundred properties in Paris and the inner suburbs.

The management mandate entrusted to Paris Fudosan Gestion includes: rental valuation based on the Paris market, listing on property portals, viewings, thorough tenant selection, drafting the lease in line with Parisian regulations (rent controls), check-in inventory, rent collection, service charge reconciliation and full administrative monitoring.

To choose a property management agency in Paris, compare fees, client reviews, responsiveness, knowledge of the Paris market and specific districts, fee transparency and guarantees offered. Paris Fudosan Gestion was founded in 1989 and has a strong reputation in the Paris market, with a long-standing presence at 4 rue de la Vrillière, Paris 1st.

The handover process involves three steps: an initial visit to assess the property (rent level, condition, diagnostics), signing the management mandate, then launching the letting process. We handle everything: professional photos, listings, tenant selection, drafting the lease and the check-in inventory. Contact us for a free assessment.

Yes, Paris Fudosan Gestion manages entire buildings, provided they are income-producing properties (immeubles de rapport) — that is, owned outright or in undivided co-ownership by a single owner or group of owners, whether private individuals or institutional investors. We do not manage buildings held under a copropriété (strata) structure.

For eligible buildings, we provide management comparable to that of a managing agent (syndic): rent collection for each unit, tenant relations, coordination of maintenance works and upkeep of common areas. The key difference is that we cannot organise general meetings or call for service charge contributions, as these obligations are specific to copropriété managing agents.

Our fees are tailored to the number of units and the configuration of the building. Contact us for a personalised quote.

The Paris market
Property management fees in Paris generally range between 4% and 8% excl. VAT of rents collected, depending on the agency, the property location and services included. Some agencies charge flat fees, but percentage-based billing is the norm.

Our fees
Paris Fudosan Gestion charges management fees of between 5% and 7% excl. VAT of rents collected. This rate varies depending on the type of property (residential, commercial, furnished) and the services subscribed. Letting fees are shared with the tenant in accordance with the Alur law. Full details on our fees page.

Our fees reflect a deliberate service choice. Unlike large networks or digital agencies that manage far too many properties or never visit your apartment in person, we choose to limit our portfolio to remain available — reachable directly by phone or WhatsApp, with issues addressed within 24 hours. A lower fee generally means a less available manager, higher staff turnover and a caseload incompatible with serious oversight.

Yes. Property management fees are fully deductible from rental income under the actual expenses regime, reducing your taxable base. This includes ongoing management fees, letting fees and rent guarantee insurance (GLI) premiums. We provide you with an annual tax summary ready for your tax return.

In the vast majority of cases, yes — and well beyond a simple comparison of fees.

Real time savings: self-managing a rental property takes on average 30 to 50 hours per year (vetting applications, drafting the lease, handling unexpected issues, overseeing works, accounting). By entrusting management to Paris Fudosan Gestion, you reclaim that time for your professional or personal life.

Financial security: rigorous tenant screening reduces the risk of rent arrears. Subscribing to a rent guarantee insurance (GLI) fully protects you in the event of default, with rents reimbursed from the first missed payment and legal costs covered.

Legal compliance: rent controls, mandatory surveys, EPC ratings, lease clauses — a single mistake can cost far more than a year of management fees. Fees are also fully deductible from your rental income.

We charge a percentage of the rent including service charges, only when the property is tenanted. No rent collected = no management fee. Letting and inventory fees are charged at the outset and shared between landlord and tenant. No hidden costs. See our fees page for full details.

On average two to four weeks elapse between receiving the outgoing tenant’s notice and the new tenant moving in. In more than 90% of cases, we manage to align the departure of the previous tenant with the arrival of the next — meaning, in practice, zero days of vacancy for the landlord.

This result is achieved through early marketing as soon as notice is received, a thorough knowledge of the Paris market and a continuously updated pool of active applicants.

We analyse market rents in your area, taking into account the precise location, surface area, condition of the property and its features. In Paris, rents are also subject to prefectural rent control orders: we verify that the rent is compliant with the capped reference rent for your area, while positioning it optimally. Learn more about Paris rent control.

Yes. We offer a free, no-obligation rental valuation. We provide a precise assessment, compliant with current rent controls and real market conditions in Paris. Request a valuation.

We take professional photographs, write a detailed listing and advertise the property on the main platforms (SeLoger, Leboncoin, etc.). We also advise on minor works or improvements likely to reduce vacant periods and attract a stable tenant profile.

It depends on your tax situation and the type of property. Furnished letting rents are generally higher and the tax regime (LMNP) is often more advantageous, but this approach requires an initial investment in furniture and the ongoing maintenance of the furnishings and equipment provided to the tenant. Unfurnished letting is more stable and better suited to larger family apartments. We advise on a case-by-case basis.

An unfurnished let requires a minimum 3-year lease, while a furnished let typically uses a 1-year renewable lease (9 months for students). Tax treatment and obligations also differ. In Paris, furnished letting is particularly popular in the central arrondissements. Paris Fudosan Gestion manages both types.

The tenant may give notice at any time, with a notice period of 3 months for an unfurnished property. This is reduced to 1 month in Paris and the inner suburbs (zone tendue), as well as in cases of job loss, professional relocation, first employment or social housing allocation. For a furnished letting, the notice period is 1 month in all circumstances. Notice must be given by recorded delivery letter, bailiff’s act or personal delivery.

The landlord may only give notice at the end of the lease, with 6 months’ notice for an unfurnished property and 3 months for a furnished one. Notice is only valid for three reasons: reclaiming for personal occupation (or by a close relative), sale of the property, or a legitimate and serious ground (rent arrears, antisocial behaviour…). Outside these cases, the lease renews automatically.

Yes, Paris Fudosan Gestion supports LMNP (Non-Professional Furnished Lettings) landlords with the day-to-day management of their Paris property and can direct you to specialists for the specific tax aspects of this regime.

In Paris, rental demand is high but solvency criteria must be carefully checked. Paris Fudosan Gestion assesses income (generally 3x the rent), professional stability, guarantees and overall file quality. We also use joint sureties, which are an excellent lever for recovering debts in the event of non-payment. We only present files that meet the criteria required by GLI insurers.

We systematically review proof of income, payslips, tax notices and employment contracts. The recommended rent-to-income ratio is 1/3. We also verify the applicant’s professional stability (permanent contract, civil servant, self-employed professional…).

Application checks go beyond simply reading documents. We verify the authenticity of tax documents via a dedicated verification platform, and we systematically contact employers to confirm the applicant is genuinely employed there. These checks allow us to filter out fraudulent applications before presenting any candidate to the landlord.

In accordance with the Alur decree: proof of identity, last 3 payslips (or accounts for self-employed), latest tax notice, proof of current address and employment contract. The same documents are required from guarantors.

Yes. We accept personal guarantors and the Visale scheme (a free guarantee from Action Logement for under-30s or employees relocating for work). We also accept guarantees from third-party organisations such as Garantme.

Important: a personal or third-party organisation guarantee cannot legally be combined with GLI insurance, except for students, for whom both protections can coexist.

Through rigorous upfront screening, prompt rent collection and monthly monitoring. If a payment is late, we act from the very first day. For landlords seeking full protection, we offer rent guarantee insurance (GLI).

Yes, Paris Fudosan Gestion offers a Rent Guarantee (GLI) with SEYNA at 3.3% incl. tax of rent plus charges. This insurance covers unpaid rent from the very first missed payment, with no excess, as well as legal costs and tenant damage. The premium is tax-deductible from your rental income.

The GLI premium is generally between 2.5% and 3.5% of the rent including service charges. It is fully deductible from rental income under the actual expenses regime. See our insurance page for a precise quote.

The tenant must have stable net income of at least 2.7 times the rent, with a confirmed permanent contract or equivalent status. An ineligible application may be covered by the Visale scheme or a solid guarantor.

Yes, most GLI contracts include a property damage guarantee beyond the deposit. Some contracts also cover legal proceedings costs.

From the first missed payment, we send a formal notice. If the situation persists, we trigger the GLI insurance claim (if subscribed) and support the landlord through the legal process: formal payment order, court proceedings, and if necessary the eviction procedure. We remain your sole point of contact throughout.

Eviction follows several stages: formal payment order, court summons, judgment, enforcement order, bailiff intervention. The process takes on average 12 to 18 months in Paris. GLI insurance reimburses rents throughout the procedure and covers legal costs.

Rent and service charge collection, monthly receipts, annual service charge reconciliation, handling maintenance requests, lease renewal and rent review. You have no direct contact with the tenant. Full details on our property management page.

Yes. From the moment the mandate is signed, Paris Fudosan Gestion becomes the tenant’s sole point of contact for all routine matters: rent payment, maintenance requests, administrative queries. You only intervene for major decisions (major works, lease termination).

Routine repairs are handled directly through our network of partner tradespeople. For any work above the €300 threshold, we seek your prior approval. In an emergency, we act immediately and inform you as soon as possible.

You receive a detailed monthly management report and a rent transfer. You also have access to a secure online portal where you can view all documents: leases, rent receipts, invoices and annual summaries.

Yes. Each landlord has access to their own online client portal: management reports, rent notices, tenant receipts, works invoices and annual tax documents.

We distinguish between tenant repairs (the tenant’s responsibility), routine repairs (the landlord’s responsibility, handled directly by us) and major works (subject to your prior approval). We obtain multiple quotes where necessary and coordinate works with the tenant.

Yes, systematically above €300. Below this threshold, we may act directly for emergencies and routine repairs, in the interest of maintaining the property in good condition.

Yes. We have a network of vetted tradespeople (plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, painters…) covering Paris and the inner suburbs, selected for their reliability and responsiveness.

In an emergency, we respond immediately, including at weekends if necessary. We contact the appropriate tradesperson, arrange access to the property with the tenant and inform you as soon as possible. Urgent interventions may be carried out without prior approval to prevent further damage.

Yes. Beyond routine maintenance, we can coordinate a full renovation of your apartment: repainting, kitchen or bathroom refurbishment, electrical upgrades, flooring replacement… We draw on our network of partner tradespeople, obtain multiple quotes, oversee the works and coordinate with the outgoing or incoming tenant to minimise vacancy. Such works are often an opportunity to improve the property’s energy performance and its EPC rating, which can justify a higher rent at the next letting.

Paris rent controls set a reference rent per geographical zone, type of property (furnished or unfurnished), number of rooms and construction period. The rent may not exceed the upper reference rent (reference rent + 20%). Paris Fudosan Gestion masters these rules district by district and ensures every property is priced correctly, legally compliant and optimised for your return.

Yes, in certain cases, by applying a rent supplement. Three conditions must be met: the base rent is set at the legal ceiling (capped reference rent), the property has objectively exceptional characteristics compared to similar properties in the area (panoramic view of a monument, large private terrace, ceiling height above 3.30 m, jacuzzi, private parking space…), and the supplement is explicitly stated in the lease with its justification. Conversely, certain situations formally prohibit any supplement: EPC rated F or G, facing obstruction within 10 m, poor aspect of the main room, bathroom on the landing, or damp problems. If the supplement is stated in the lease, the tenant has 3 months to dispute it; if the ceiling is exceeded without being declared, the tenant has 3 years. Learn more about Paris rent control.

To rent a Paris apartment, the following surveys are compulsory: Energy Performance Certificate (DPE), electrical survey (if installation over 15 years old), gas survey, floor area measurement (loi Boutin), statement of risks and pollution (ERP), and lead survey for buildings constructed before 1949. Paris Fudosan Gestion helps its clients compile this documentation.

Regulations are progressively banning the most energy-inefficient properties from the rental market. In Paris, where the housing stock is often old, this concerns many landlords. Paris Fudosan Gestion advises on the works needed to keep your property on the Paris rental market in the best possible conditions.

The EPC (Energy Performance Certificate, or DPE in French) has become a central issue for landlords following the French government’s schedule for banning energy-inefficient properties from the rental market: G-rated properties have been banned since 2025, and F-rated ones will follow in 2028. Improving your EPC rating typically involves insulating walls, windows or roof spaces, replacing the heating system (for example, switching from a gas boiler to a heat pump), and upgrading ventilation. In Paris, such works may be partly funded through MaPrimeRénov’, Energy Saving Certificates (CEE) and the eco-PTZ interest-free loan.

Before committing to any works, we recommend carrying out a projected EPC assessment (DPE projeté) with one of our certified diagnostician partners. The diagnostician visits your property, records all technical characteristics, and then simulates various renovation scenarios to calculate the exact EPC rating you could achieve depending on the improvements you choose. This allows you to make a fully informed decision about which works to carry out, knowing in advance the precise energy performance benefit of each option.

Paris Fudosan Gestion can put you in touch with our specialist partners in energy renovation and diagnostics, and help you navigate your legal obligations.

Yes. We draft the full lease, compliant with the requirements of the Alur law: mandatory clauses, annexes (EPC, risk statement, information notice) and the rent control clause. We also handle amendments and renewals.

Both inventories are carried out by ourselves or by a specialist external company depending on our availability, in the tenant’s presence, room by room with photographs, and signed digitally. At check-out, we assess any damage attributable to the tenant and manage the return of the deposit within the legal timeframe.

We intervene first through amicable resolution. If that proves insufficient, we refer to the conciliation committee, then support the landlord through the legal proceedings.

Yes, subject to conditions. Reclaiming the property is possible at the end of the lease with 6 months’ notice (3 months for furnished), for sale, personal occupation or occupation by a close relative. We draft the notices in compliance with legal requirements. If you wish to sell, we can assist with the property transaction.

Each year, we provide a ready-to-use annual summary: total rents collected, deductible expenses (management fees, GLI premium, works, property tax…). Available in your landlord portal.

Unfurnished letting falls under rental income (actual expenses or micro-foncier regime with a 30% allowance). Furnished letting falls under BIC (business income): 50% allowance under micro-BIC, or property depreciation under the actual regime (LMNP), which significantly reduces the taxable base.

Yes. LMNP under the actual expenses regime, the actual rental income regime, holding via an SCI (property company) are all options depending on your profile. We can put you in touch with our specialist tax partners in Parisian real estate.

Paris Fudosan Gestion operates in all 20 Paris arrondissements as well as in the inner suburbs, including Neuilly-sur-Seine, Levallois-Perret, Boulogne-Billancourt, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Montrouge, Vanves, Malakoff, Vincennes, Saint-Mandé, Charenton-le-Pont and Ivry-sur-Seine. We are particularly active in the 1st through 11th arrondissements. Our office at 4 rue de la Vrillière, Paris 1st, has been at the heart of the Paris property market for over 35 years.

Yes, Paris Fudosan Gestion is one of the very few Paris agencies to offer trilingual property management (French, English, Japanese). We manage properties for many Japanese owners living in Japan or France, and offer their apartments to our Japanese clientele through our partner France Fudosan & Partners as well as other specialist networks. Reports and communications are available in all three languages.

Yes, Paris Fudosan Gestion manages both furnished and unfurnished lettings in Paris and the inner suburbs. For an unfurnished let, we draw up a minimum 3-year lease, compliant with the ALUR law and Paris rent controls. For a furnished let, the lease is one year renewable (9 months for students), with specific obligations regarding the inventory of furnishings. We advise you on the most suitable arrangement for your situation, taking into account your tax position (property income for unfurnished, BIC regime for furnished) and your overall property strategy.

Yes, in addition to residential property management, Paris Fudosan Gestion handles the management of offices and commercial premises in Paris. Managing professional properties involves specific rules: commercial leases (3-6-9 year terms), professional leases (minimum 6 years), indexation on the ICC or ILC indices, and obligations relating to service charges and works. Our team supports owners of professional premises with tenant selection, lease drafting and administrative monitoring, with the same rigour applied to residential properties.
