Renting on Leasy: the steps for a tenant

In brief

You search, apply with your Passport, view the home, sign the lease online, then move in: first payment, inventory of fixtures on your phone, handover of the keys. Searching, applying, viewing and signing are free on a private landlord's listing.

The steps

1. Search. Use the search bar (where, move-in date, budget), the map and the filters. Save a search to be alerted about new listings.
2. Build your Passport. Your file, made once and reused for every application. See The Passport.
3. Apply. One click on the listing: the landlord receives your Passport. See Apply with your Passport.
4. View. Pick a time slot on the listing; you get the exact address once the viewing is booked. See Book or cancel a viewing.
5. Sign the lease. When the landlord accepts your application, they prepare the lease; you read it and sign it online.
6. Move in. First payment, then the inventory of fixtures (état des lieux) with the landlord, live on your phone, then the handover of the keys. See The live inventory.
7. Move out. Notice, exit inventory and return of the security deposit.

What you do not pay

On a private landlord's listing there are no file fees, no application fees and no agency fees. On a professional's listing, any fees they charge appear on the listing. See How much does it cost?.
