I love being able to leave my things and come back every weekend as if it were my own home.

We rented a house for 5 months close to the site of our future home. It was easy to follow the building work while starting to live locally.

I work remotely a lot. I love enjoying the late season: there are fewer people around and the rent is more affordable. This kind of rental suits me perfectly.

A place to live for as long as you need, suited to your plans. Not too short, not too long.

What you pay and when

A rent, stated charges, and nothing else on our side.

The rent

"From €1,200/month" on a listing is the monthly rent, excluding provisional or flat-rate charges. The exact amount appears as soon as you enter your dates.

The charges

Water, electricity, heating, internet: the amount is shown on the listing. Flat-rate under a bail mobilité; flat-rate or a provision reconciled at the end under a civil lease.

No service fees

LesVacantes charges the tenant nothing: no agency fees, no application fees. They are paid by the owner. Booking through LesVacantes costs you nothing extra.

The security deposit

Never under a bail mobilité. Under a civil lease, if one is requested, it is paid directly to the owner: we do not collect it.

Staying on LesVacantes costs you nothing: platform fees are paid by the owner, as is the insurance that covers the rental under a civil lease. You keep secure payment, the lease and your guarantees.

Not holiday letting,
not a long-term lease.

A real case

At the end of August, Cécile and her family leave the Paris region for a 95 m² house in La Teste-de-Buch. A civil lease until April, €1,000 a month: time to get to know the area before looking for a year-round home.

New homes are published every week. Tell us where and when you're looking: we'll email you as soon as a property matches your criteria.

The questions you ask us most often

They are yours. Here are our answers, straight up.

Length of stay and legal framework

Usually 1 to 10 months under a civil lease (12 months maximum), and 1 to 10 months under a bail mobilité (non-renewable). That is the range LesVacantes covers: beyond that, it is a standard long-term rental.

Under a bail mobilité, yes, if you have a work or training reason. Under a civil lease, no: you must keep your usual home elsewhere. That is what sets the two frameworks apart.

Under a bail mobilité, yes: the property is your main residence, which is required to claim housing benefit. Under a civil lease, no: the property does not become your main residence, so APL does not apply.

Your application

An ID document, proof of address and proof of income. For a bail mobilité, you also need proof of your reason: employer certificate, assignment order, internship agreement, apprenticeship contract, school or university certificate, or civic service certificate.

Yes, under both leases. The Visale guarantee is available for a bail mobilité. In a flat-share under a bail mobilité, no joint-liability clause between flatmates can be enforced against you.

The owner remains free to accept or decline a request. If unpaid-rent cover has been taken out, the partner insurer may also decline to cover the booking; the owner can then go ahead or not without that cover. A refusal says nothing about the quality of your application.

Rent, charges and fees

No. LesVacantes charges the tenant no service fees. You pay the rent, the stated charges and, under a civil lease only, the security deposit if one is requested. Any extra cost (end-of-stay cleaning, optional service) is shown on the listing.

It is the lowest rent offered for this home across its open periods. The exact amount, and the charges, appear as soon as you enter your dates on the listing.

Charges are stated on every listing. Under a bail mobilité they are flat-rate: nothing extra can be claimed from you at the end of your stay. Under a civil lease, the lease provides either a flat fee or a provision reconciled against actual consumption.

Rent goes through the platform: the first payment is released to the owner on the day you move in, after the inventory. The property must be insured by the owner; under a bail mobilité, you will also be asked for home insurance with public liability cover before the keys are handed over.

The home and your stay

Yes, all of them. Each listing details the bedding, kitchen, appliances and internet connection. Homes are checked before they go online, and you can leave your belongings there for the whole length of the lease.

These depend on the owner and are listed in the amenities and the specific conditions of the listing. If something is missing, the "Ask a question" button on the listing puts you in direct contact with the owner.

Under a bail mobilité, yes: at any time, with one month's notice sent by registered letter, served by a bailiff or handed over in person against a receipt. Under a civil lease, only the conditions set out in the lease apply.

The terms are set out in the cancellation policy that applies to your booking and in the lease. Once the booking is confirmed, there is no statutory withdrawal right under the French Consumer Code.

New homes are added every week, all over France, with an initial focus on Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Create an alert: we'll let you know as soon as a home matches your criteria.
