Agency fees for renting: the cap for your home
Work out the cap on the fees an agency can charge the tenant: viewing, application file, drawing up the lease and inventory, by zone and living area.

The living area stated in the lease, not the floor area.
Choose the zone and enter the floor area to see the cap.
How it is worked out
- Cap = living area × cap per m² of the zone, for the viewing, file and lease, plus area × the inventory cap (law of 6 July 1989, art. 5; decree no. 2014-890; caps in force since 1 January 2026).
- Three zones: very high-demand (A bis), high-demand and other areas. The inventory has the same cap everywhere.
- The tenant never pays more than the share paid by the landlord for the same services. On Leasy, Leasy charges the tenant nothing: these caps only concern agencies' fees.

Leasy does it for you
On Leasy, listings by private landlords carry no agency fee, and agencies' listings show their fees, always under these caps.
