ServiceAzur constantly monitors the condition of the property offered for rent and guarantees the relevance of all photos posted on our website. However, we always recommend that you visit the property of your choice in person before signing a booking contract.

When you arrive at your vacation home, you will be met by one of our managers who will assist you during your entire rental period. Together, you will take inventory of the property. He will give you the keys, the remote controls and the alarm codes.

An inventory of the property to be rented is a document that lists the general condition of the property itself, the list, quantity and condition of the items in the property.

The purpose of the inventory is to minimize the risk of disputes between the Tenant and the Owner. An inventory is useful to both parties: The Property Owner uses the inventory to protect the leased property and can prove damages.

The tenant, in turn, insures himself against unjustified claims for damages with a detailed inventory.

A new inventory of the property will be made upon departure. If no damage to the house or equipment is found, the deposit will be refunded to you as agreed by the contract.

Upon request, we will arrange transfer to the airport for you.

The security deposit is an amount held by the agency for the duration of the rental and is used to cover any damage that tenants may cause to the furniture or equipment of the vacation home.

The amount of the security deposit is, on average, 25% to 30% of the total rent, the deposit is assigned by the owner, but kept in the account of the agency, which is the intermediary and guarantor between the owner and the tenant.

Under French law, the agency may withhold the security deposit up to two months after the tenant moves out. If the inventory upon check-out is identical to the inventory upon check-in, there is no breakage and the owner consents to the return. The security deposit can be paid on the day of departure.

Depending on the contract, some costs may be deducted from the security deposit: final cleaning, consumption of water, electricity, gas, tourist tax and other services provided during the tenant’s stay.

If there is damage or breakage, the reason is found out, there can be two: through the fault of the tenant or due to natural wear and tear, when used as intended. The tenant is responsible for the first, and the landlord for the second.

The question is an individual one. Depending on the contract. But often, given that linens and towels are personal hygiene products, they are available for rent for a separate fee.

It is possible to change the rental dates if the property is vacant for the new period and the landlord gives his consent.

Seasonal rental is the rental of a furnished apartment or house for a day, a week or a month. Usually, seasonal rental does not exceed a 3-month period. Rentals over 3 months are considered long- term furnished rentals.

You should provide proof of ownership along with a copy of your ID or passport.

Property inventory is crucial for both apartments and houses. We complete the inventory before the tenants arrive and just before they leave. Along with the rental agreement, it protects you from any unfair claims.

You can. A home mortgage is a guarantee for the bank and the owner has the full right to dispose of his property, including renting it out.

There is a special owner’s insurance (PNO — Propriétaire Non Occupant), which allows you to protect the owner of the housing in case of emergencies.

1. Insure the rental housing. 
2. Draw up a rental contract. 
3. Request a deposit and obtain funds before the tenant moves in. 
4. Make a detailed inventory of the home and possessions and have the tenant sign the inventory before you move in and after you move out.

Option 1: Invite a real estate agent who, in most cases, will do the appraisal for free and give a market value.

Option 2. Invite an expert appraiser who will do the appraisal for a fee. Banks, in turn, appraise or require an expert appraiser to appraise the property if a loan is granted.

The earlier you book, the more choice of properties at the better price you have. The best time find an ideal vacation rental is during the low season, from October to March.

Firstly, more favorable price for vacation with family or a big company. Often renting a villa on the Côte d'Azur is many times cheaper than a cramped hotel room.

Secondly, the wide range of Cote d'Azur vacation rentals. You can choose an option away from densely populated areas and fully enjoy your vacation.

Thirdly, you'll have a fully equipped property with all your appliances, furniture, tableware and so on. You can optionally hire a crew of your choice: a cook, a housekeeper, a nanny, a security guard, etc.

Finally, prestige and total privacy. Renting a property allows you to fully immerse yourself in the wonderful atmosphere of the French Riviera and feel like a local.

Villas on the Côte d'Azur with 3-4 and more bedrooms, a spacious area and a view of the sea are the best family vacations.

Planning to rent a property in France, first of all, you should pay attention to the proximity:

• beaches;
• entertainment areas;
• stores, restaurants and cafes.

As a rule, our compatriots prefer to choose the following places to rent an apartment in France:

• Cap d'Antibes;
• Cannes;
• Cap Ferrat;
• Saint-Tropez.

As a rule, additional costs when renting a property in France are the residence tax (la taxe de séjour) and the final cleaning fee.
