Have you just found a job in Luxembourg and need to rent accommodation at short notice? It may seem difficult, but sometimes all it takes is good organisation and a little luck to find the right flat in the right place.

Tip 1: Research

- email alerts: register on atHome.lu and create your email alert with your search criteria (city, district, rent, etc.). As soon as a new ad that matches your requirements is posted online, you will immediately be notified by email.
- Mobile applications: if you have not already done so, download the mobile application atHome.lu (for smartphones and tablets), and activate the push alerts.
- Practical information: find useful information and advice on the aHome blog and specialised websites, such as: www.justarrived.lu

And above all, be responsive!

Tip 2: Go to the site

The second thing to do is to set aside a few days to go there and plan your visits. You must be well organised so as not to waste your time, and to optimise your stay on site. That is to say, visit as many places as possible so that you have a choice.

Beware, if you are targeting Luxembourg City, depending on the area, it will be more difficult to find a place quickly, so you may have to make concessions.

Tip 3: Prepare a case

For apply for a rental flatA complete file must be prepared, in paper and digital form. It must contain proof of identity and resources. As different agencies or landlords may ask for different documents, it is better to have several types of proof (work contract, pay slip, tax notice etc.). This will speed up the process.
