Every day the rental companies receive a large number of requests. To stand out from the crowd and find your accommodation faster, we give you the recipe:
👋 Take care of your presentation
Even though Airbnb has made sending a message optional when booking, it's important to keep in mind that a landlord who is renting you their home for several months needs reassurance. Trust is the key and it is created from the first exchanges. A few tips to get you started:
Enter your message with a “Hello”
Summarize your situation in a few words “what you are looking for, for how long, how the accommodation seems to meet your expectations”
Always respond politely
📋 Complete your file 100% and especially the “guarantor” part
Landlords own their homes and your ability to pay the rent each month is a key factor in their choice. To do this, it is essential to complete your rental file 100% online and indicate whether you have any guarantors. Otherwise, you can take out the Guaranteed Profile.

🔍 Avoid asking questions to which the lessor has already answered in the advertisement
Nothing is more frustrating than repeating information that you have taken care to clarify. Imagine that a landlord can have up to 10 requests per day. Reading the ad carefully before contacting the rental company is key!
🏃 Be responsive!
A nice home is like a good job, it attracts people. By being responsive, the rental company understands your commitment and your seriousness. Respond within 48 hours.
A word of advice: if the accommodation no longer interests you or does not suit you, inform the landlord. The world is small, they could have other accommodations or know other lessors with availability on the platform.
📢 Relaunch
You know this expression: “repetition is good? “. A rental company receives many requests, do not hesitate to follow up.
It's up to you to rent! 🏃♀️💨
