Honoraires agence immobiliere location : who pays and how much in 2025

Excerpt: Discover who pays the real estate agency fees for rentals in 2025 and how the amounts are capped depending on your location.

Rental agency fees have been regulated by the French Alur law since 2014. In areas like Massy, Palaiseau, and Chilly-Mazarin, tenants pay up to €10/m² for the rental process and €3/m² for the property inspection, while all management fees fall to the landlord.

Real estate agency rental fees: what the Alur law says

Agency fees for rentals are strictly regulated. They cover property visits, file processing, lease drafting, and condition reports. The tenant’s share cannot exceed that of the landlord. In Massy, Palaiseau, and Chilly-Mazarin, classified as “tense zones”, these fees are capped at €10/m² for the rental service and €3/m² for the move-in inspection.

Who pays the agency fees when renting?

Rental fees are split between tenant and landlord. The landlord bears the cost of advertising the property, vetting tenants, and the ongoing rental management. The tenant contributes only to visits, application file, lease, and check-in report. For a 50m² apartment in Massy, tenants pay a maximum of €650 including taxes.

What’s included in rental agency fees

Agency fees cover property marketing, compliant lease drafting, and detailed inventory reports. For landlords, they include full management services: rent collection, annual adjustments, maintenance tracking, and legal compliance. This ensures peace of mind and smooth rental operations.

Different rates depending on location

Rental fee caps vary by region: €12/m² in high-demand areas, €10/m² in tense zones, and €8/m² elsewhere. Add €3/m² for the property inspection. Management fees for landlords range between 6% and 10% of annual rent excluding tax.
