Expert Advice

Our advice for renting your property in Lyon

Location, a main criteria

For furnished rentals, the location of the property is essential. If your property is located in an area where demand is lower, you will have a harder time finding tenants. In Lyon, the best areas are the old town and the Peninsula, which are lively, central and well connected, and the business district of Part-Dieu and the neighbourhoods of the Croix-Rousse (1st arrondissement), La Guillotière, Saint-Louis and Jean-Macé (in the 7th arrondissement) which are very popular among students.

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.

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.

Why Invest in Furnished Rentals in Lyon?

Investing in furnished rentals in Lyon offers numerous advantages, making this city a prime destination for real estate investors. Here’s why Lyon is an exceptional opportunity for furnished rentals.

1. Attractiveness of Lyon

A dynamic city with ongoing economic growth
Lyon is the third-largest city in France and a major economic hub. The Lyon metropolitan area benefits from continuous growth, attracting new businesses and talents from around the world each year. This economic dynamism translates into strong rental demand, especially for furnished properties that cater to the needs of mobile professionals and expatriates.

Strong rental demand
Lyon hosts numerous students every year, with prestigious institutions like the University of Lyon, INSA, and École Normale Supérieure. Additionally, its cultural and historical heritage attracts many tourists and visitors. This diversity of profiles creates a constant demand for quality furnished accommodations, providing investors with appreciable rental security.

2. Tax Advantages

Favorable tax regime for furnished rentals (LMNP, LMP)
Investing in furnished rentals allows you to benefit from highly advantageous tax regimes. The status of Non-Professional Furnished Rental (LMNP) allows you to deduct expenses and benefit from property depreciation, thus reducing the taxable base and rental income taxes. For investors with higher rental income, the status of Professional Furnished Rental (LMP) offers even more tax benefits.

Possibility of recovering VAT
Under certain conditions, particularly for serviced residences (students, seniors, or business), it is possible to recover VAT on the purchase of the property, significantly reducing the acquisition cost and increasing the investment profitability.

3. Profitability

Higher rents for furnished properties
Furnished properties generally rent at higher rates than unfurnished properties. This rent premium, combined with strong and constant demand, ensures better profitability for investors. Moreover, furnished rentals often have lower vacancy rates, as they attract a varied and mobile clientele.

Attractive rental profitability
Compared to other types of investments, furnished rentals in Lyon offer very attractive rental profitability. Returns can vary depending on the neighborhoods and types of properties, but they generally remain higher than those in many other French and European cities, thanks to the combination of strong demand and high rents.
