How to find a flat quickly?
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
To find a rental on the Internet, a multitude of tools are now available to make your life easier:
- email alerts: register on atHome.lu and create your email alert with your search criteria (town, district, rent, etc.). As soon as a new ad that matches your requirements is posted online, you'll be notified immediately by email.
- mobile applications: if you haven't already done so, download the atHome.lu mobile application (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 flatIn order to apply, you will need to prepare a full application, in paper and digital form. It must contain proof of identity and income. As different agencies or landlords may ask for different documents, it's best to have several types of supporting documents ready (work contract, payslip, tax notice, etc.). This will speed up the process.
