I spent a lot time to get an apt with Paris attitude but at the end I refused the offer after detailed investigation.

First off, I spent 3 months to schedule appointments to view appointments. They don't update their listings so I wasted a lot of time.

At the end, I viewed 4 apartments and only the last one was clean. All the rest are small, dirty, over price. The last one was nice but here is the story.

Paris attitude sent me the contact. I asked my friends to reviewed it. Paris attitude did not mentioned I will need to rent it as second home and need to very high housing tax if you live there on Jan 1.

When I choose the apt for viewing or they sent apartments to me, there is no mention about second home with tax.

When I asked about return deposit, they did not mentioned the rules and it is from the landlord. There is no agreement between landlord and tenant on when you will get the deposit back.

As for cancellation of rental, there is no protection. There is no compensation and the agent may find you another one. If you pay down payment, deposit etc, you will need to ask the landlord to get it back.

If there is a flood, the agent says you won't get the insurance policy to review it in advanced until you pay all the fee. The agent N said it is a standard insurance.

About rental agency fee, it is one month for a year rental as it a second home. For primary home, it is a lot less but you never seen such offer in Paris attitude.

They work for the owner to get higher rent and they get higher agency fee by renting the apts as second home.

I searched on other agencies and found out they did list the fee for primary home and secondary home as an option. There is no such option in Paris attitude listing
