Find long-term rentals in France with Ibanista

Struggling to find a rental in France as a foreigner? You’re not alone.

Agencies don’t reply. Landlords go silent. The paperwork feels impossible, and when you don’t have French income, your dossier often gets rejected outright. At Ibanista, we help expats like you secure long-term rentals with confidence, no stress, no guesswork.

WHAT WE HELP WITH

A rental that works for you

We’ll help you find a rental that meets your lifestyle requirements, no need to figure that out on your own.

A dossier that gets you noticed

French landlords are picky, especially with foreign applicants. We build a strong, well-presented dossier that explains your situation clearly and professionally.

Communication and follow-up

You won’t have to chase agents or worry about language barriers. We handle outreach and follow-ups in French so you don’t miss out on good opportunities.

Help understanding lease terms

We review lease agreements with you so you understand what you’re signing, clearly and in plain English.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

“We were feeling really lost with how to acquire a French lease as foreigners and finding Ben was such a blessing. He made everything easy and was able to send us options based off of our criteria. He also negotiated the lease and secured the rental for us. Super communicative and responsive! Highly recommend.” – Jessica Kelton

“Excellent service, patient and persistent in finding me the right place to meet my needs. Ben, Natalie and the whole team gave extraordinary professional advice and found me a great apartment in a great neighborhood in my budget. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to find the oh so difficult rental contract in France!” – John Lujan
