Rent out your apartment or chalet
Defining your rental project
Before renting out your apartment or chalet in Les Gets, it is essential to define your rental project.
The first question to ask yourself is: do you want to rent out your property on a long-term basis or do you prefer to rent it out for a few months a year to cover your costs while you are away?
For small areas, such as studios and two-room apartments, furnished rentals are often the most in demand. However, this option involves providing an accurate list of furniture and equipment, in accordance with regulations.
It is also essential to choose between an empty lease and a furnished lease, as this will have tax implications. Think about it now and don't hesitate to call on our agency to assist you.
With ACM Immobilier, you have the flexibility to rent your apartment or chalet by the week, the season or the year, depending on your needs.
Setting the amount of rent
Determining the amount of rent for your property is a step that cannot be improvised. Many factors influence this amount, such as the surface area, the location or the general condition of the property.
In Les Gets, the absence of rent control allows you to freely set the amount of your rent. However, to determine a fair and competitive price, it is essential to rely on an expert in the local real estate market. Since 1979, ACM Immobilier has been providing you with its knowledge and experience of the real estate market in Les Gets to help you rent your property in the best conditions.
