Our Expert Advice

Our advice for renting your property in Montpellier

Location, a essential criteria

For furnished rentals, the location of the property is crucial. In fact, if your property is located in an area where the demand is lower, you’ll have a harder time in finding a tenant. In Montpellier the neighborhoods to prioritize are the neighborhood of L’Ecusson, the neighborhood Boutonnet (one of the youngest neighborhoods, really appreciated by students) and the neighborhoods of Beaux Arts, of Port Marianne and also the neighborhood of Arceaux.

Go for smaller spaces

The most successful properties in the furnished rental market are studios and 1 bed apartments: they represent more than half of all rentals. Large family furnished apartments with more than 2 bedrooms are also popular with families or as student house-shares.

The right equipment for a successful rental

To advertise a property as furnished, it must be equipped with 11 legally required items (see illustration) allowing the tenant to live, eat and sleep in the home. In order to rent your property as furnished accommodation more easily and at the best price, we recommend that you install some of the items most requested by tenants: internet, washing machine, TV, dishwasher, small appliances (kettle, toaster, coffee maker, iron, etc.). As for design, we recommend a simple and refined decoration that will appeal to the most people possible.

11 legally required items for furnished rental

Find the right price

Our last tip to rent your property easily and efficiently is to decide the right monthly rent. If it is too high, it may take more time to find a tenant and the property being left empty could affect its profitability. To work out the right price for your furnished rental property, have a look at others that are similar in terms of location, type, space, equipment and services.

With its Mediterranean climate, pleasant lifestyle, and rich cultural heritage, Montpellier has become one of the most attractive cities for investing in furnished rentals.

Why invest in furnished rentals in Montpellier

Montpellier’s appeal

With its many universities, higher education institutions, and innovative companies, the city is a major draw for students and young professionals.

Furnished rental market

The furnished rental market in Montpellier is particularly strong and increasingly attractive to property investors. Here are some key figures to illustrate this trend:

  • Student population: Montpellier has over 70,000 students, many of whom seek furnished rentals for flexibility and convenience during their studies.
  • Population growth: Montpellier's population has grown by an average of 1.2% per year, driving rental demand.
  • Profitability: Furnished properties in Montpellier offer attractive yields, often over 5%, due to high demand and higher rents compared to unfurnished properties.
  • Low vacancy rates: Constant demand ensures short vacancy periods, guaranteeing high occupancy rates.

Tax advantages

Investing in furnished rentals in Montpellier also offers appealing tax benefits. Rental income is taxed under the “BIC” regime (industrial and commercial profits), often more favorable than the real estate income regime. In addition, the non-professional furnished rental (LMNP) status allows owners to deduct expenses and depreciate their property, significantly reducing taxable income.


Where to invest in Montpellier: Best neighborhoods for rental profitability

Montpellier offers a wide range of neighborhoods, each with its own strengths for rental investment. Whether you're looking to invest in a modern apartment, a character home, or student housing, each district presents opportunities for different investor profiles.

1. Écusson (City Center)

The historic heart of Montpellier, Écusson is highly sought after for its charming streets, shops, and historic monuments. Investing here ensures steady rental demand, especially from students and young professionals attracted by the central location and amenities.

2. Antigone

Known for its neoclassical architecture, Antigone is a modern district near the city center and the Lez River. Apartments here are popular with families and professionals thanks to good public transport and green spaces.

3. Port Marianne

A fast-developing neighborhood, Port Marianne features modern buildings, offices, and shops. Close to the Odysseum shopping center and new infrastructure, it's attractive to young professionals and families alike, offering excellent rental returns.

4. Beaux-Arts

This bohemian, artsy neighborhood is popular with students and young couples. With cafés, art galleries, and small shops, Beaux-Arts offers charm and calm while being close to downtown, making it very attractive for rentals.

5. Hôpitaux-Facultés

Close to universities and hospitals, this area is ideal for investing in properties for students and healthcare staff. Furnished rentals are in high demand due to proximity to higher education institutions.

6. Les Arceaux

Known for its market and village feel, Les Arceaux offers a pleasant living environment with old houses and charming apartments. Its proximity to the city center and public transport makes it popular with families and young professionals.

Challenges of managing furnished rental properties

Owning a furnished rental in Montpellier can be a great investment, but daily management can quickly become a real challenge. Here are some of the main difficulties landlords face:

Administrative complexity

Furnished rentals involve specific legal and administrative requirements. Landlords must ensure the property meets safety and decency standards, draft compliant leases, and manage security deposits. Constant legal monitoring is necessary to stay up to date with regulations.

Day-to-day management

Managing a furnished property requires constant availability: finding and screening tenants, drafting and signing contracts, conducting check-ins and check-outs, collecting rent, and handling late payments. Prompt responses to tenant needs and issues are key to maintaining a good relationship.

Maintenance and repairs

A furnished property needs regular maintenance to stay attractive and functional. This includes caring for furniture, appliances, and installations, and quickly resolving emergencies such as leaks or appliance breakdowns—often requiring coordination with local contractors.

Rental vacancy

Minimizing vacancy is critical for profitability, but finding reliable tenants quickly can be difficult during off-seasons. Landlords also have to manage move-ins and move-outs, which requires time and organization.


Advantages of using a local agency for rental management in Montpellier

Local expertise and market knowledge

A local agency in Montpellier understands the city’s real estate trends, popular neighborhoods, tenant profiles, and rental price ranges. This ensures accurate rental pricing and reduced vacancy through strategic positioning.

Proximity and responsiveness

Being local means being close by to handle viewings, check-ins, inspections, and emergencies. On-the-ground presence ensures faster service and higher tenant satisfaction.

Network of trusted providers

A local agency has partnerships with reliable service providers—plumbers, electricians, and contractors—ensuring timely and cost-effective maintenance and repairs.

Regulatory compliance

Real estate in Montpellier is subject to specific local laws. A local agency ensures your property remains compliant with evolving regulations, handling all legal and administrative aspects.

Profitability optimization

A local specialist can recommend the best strategies for maximizing ROI, including choosing the right tax status like LMNP, optimizing rent levels, and reducing costs through efficient management.
