Moya I think the apartment you ended up getting is the best one!! It's such a perfect sized apartment for someone just moving to a new country, since you're still assimilating to the culture, it's the perfect place to start out in and also is a space that allows you to grow with it as a person so that one day when you upgrade to a bigger apartment you know yourself better and you'll have accumulated pieces of furniture or art that you love overtime, and have a better idea of what place you really want in the future!!

@experiencesourceself358 Год назад

completely agreed!

@tamunagegiadze6594 Год назад

Dear moya, I think you made right decision with apartment choice, space is enough for one and even two people, it is cosy, clean, with natural light and price wise, so good luck with your new life in Paris, be happy 🥰🥰

@moyamawhinney Год назад

thank you so much!!! exactly deffo perfect for one hehhe xx

@giuliakainradl4258 Год назад

I am so happy for you! I have been through the same process few months ago, and now I am a studio girl as well in Paris. It’s so fulfilling to finally get your own place after so many viewings ❤

@thearcanamodernau8130 10 месяцев назад

As a Mexican who lived in France for a year, I can confidently say that being a foreigner can automatically disqualify you in the eyes of landlords, specially if you don't speak a lot of French 😅I would strongly advice learning at least an intermediate level of french before moving in for a long stay, specially in Paris. People treat you a lot nicer just by hearing you speaking French, and it makes the adaptation process a lot easier. Having a formal CDI or going as a student also makes the process of finding housing much more faster. That's not to say that not speaking French or not having a job at a company should discourage you from living there or visiting, of course! It's a beautiful country and a lifetime experience. Absolutely take it if you have the opportunity!

@itsthequeenfatima Год назад

Fellow expat in Paris here but from the NY! Congrats on the apt! It is no easy feat! Also, I just finished the Lingoda sprint and I highly recommend it! It helped me with my confidence so much even after 7 years in France.

@experiencesourceself358 Год назад

As one of the comments said - the one you got eventually is ABSOLUTELY the most beautiful one. it's all meant to be for you - wonderful, heartwarming to see you sharing your process ❤❤

@itsmikassh Год назад

You're already pretty good, for me learning french became easier when i had no other choice but to express myself. french people can be a little tough but if you speak and even if the wording isn't correct people will eventually get it. I'm sure you know this but it's really all about confidence!

@jai-bc3vk Год назад

So happy for you ❤❤ Cant wait to see how you’ll decorate ur apartment!!!

@cynicalcenobia Год назад

You not getting certain apartments has absolutely nothing to do with the landlords or estate agents "liking" or disliking you; it has to do with the fact that as a freelancer you do not have a consistent source of income, meaning no company is contracted to pay you on a monthly basis, therefore, you're considered a high(er) risk tenant. This is the same in London, Amsterdam and just about any other in-demand city where people move to be able to go into work. On top of this ofc you're also not a French citizen, and so just as in every country, estate agents will prioritise locals. Citing your likability here just felt out-of-place and out-of-context.

@rachiboo14 Год назад

Yup that’s it

@GuckenAngeli 11 месяцев назад

Hello, c'est totalement vrai ! Par contre avoir un bon contact avec l'agent ou le proprio ça peut vraiment aider à avoir l'appartement, même si on a pas le meilleur dossier. Un dossier très personnel aussi, du genre une présentation de qui on est, pourquoi on est là, avec une photo et un résumé des éléments principaux du dossier etc, comme un CV/ lettre de motivation en fait. Avec mon copain on en avait visité beaucoup avant de surjouer notre intérêt et faire notre présentation, et dès qu'on a combiné les deux on nous a proposé tous les apparts qu'on visitait juste parce que les agents se souvenaient mieux de nous

@kiribati9393 11 месяцев назад

1300 for 32sqm is quite expensive for Oberkampf ... and place de clichy is dodgy area, Chateau d'eau is quite safe despite how it looks. The best is to ask directly is the landlord is ok with foreigners ( it's harder for them to get their money back if you don't pay your rent). Also a lot of flats will be on the market this summer/ Septemeber. Good luck :)

I think the guarantor is only required if you don’t make 3x the rent. I never needed one even though I was brand new to France, but I did have a CDI contract, and was making x3+ the rent. Maybe that’s why….?

Hi Moya ! How long did it take for you to find your apartment ? Do you reckon staying at an airbnb/accom for a month would be enough time to find a place as a foreigner ? 💜

@nim_19 Год назад

I think it took her at least 3 months 😭 but she said she was quite picky and didn’t apply for some apartments because they weren’t perfect so if you widen your search you may find something quicker

@VeeMarieS Год назад

I wonder if they’d consider you if you’d pay a few months in advance. I had a different finding an apartment in a good neighborhood until I offered to pay 6 months upfront. I had quite a few accepted applications. Just a thought.

@loujane 11 месяцев назад

I was just thinking this! I don’t live in Paris but am also in a very expensive city where preference for 1 bedroom is given to couples/really rich singles. I offered to pay 12 months up front - I didn’t end up needing to do this but offering and showing proof that I could got my application accepted!

@VeeMarieS 11 месяцев назад

@@loujane it definitely works. I think it shows that you’re not only able to pay your rent, but you’re not going to be a risk for the length of your lease. I have always paid for my lease a few months in advance since. It takes a bit of stress off of me ever since I’ve made this a habit.
