🚚 I’m moving: in my next life — or city 😉 — should I rent a furnished place, an unfurnished one… or go hybrid?

What a question!

💰 Rent: Furnished rentals are 10 to 30% more expensive.
Example: a furnished studio in Paris = €1,000/month.

🔐 Security deposit:

  • Unfurnished: 1 month’s rent excluding charges → e.g. €800 rent = €800 deposit
  • Furnished: 2 months’ rent → €1,000 rent = €2,000 deposit
    Difference: €1,200 more upfront!

🔑 Lease duration:

  • Unfurnished: 3 or 6 years → more long-term stability
  • Furnished: 1 year (or 9 months for students) → more flexibility

📦 Logistics & carbon footprint:

  • Furnished: no moving truck = less CO₂
  • Unfurnished: full move… unless you go for the hybrid option 👇

🪑 Hybrid = rent an unfurnished place + rent furniture
You can rent furniture for 1 to 36 months. Everything is delivered, assembled, and installed for you. Often brand new, it’s a comfortable and flexible solution.
You rent the essentials and buy your own decorative items to make it feel like home.

✨ Now it’s your turn to choose!
