Hello,
I'm in a situation where I just arrived to Lyon, France and have not yet found a job, which makes it impossible to get an apartment. I have more than enough money in my bank to pay the rent of an apartment indefinitely but have no way to prove this. I have heard a lot of talk about bank guarantees, so I went in to a number of banks asking about one and they all said that they didn't offer one. After a bit of further research, it seems some banks offer guarantees but only to those who already have jobs.
So my question is, has anyone ever got a bank guarantee for renting? If so, how did you go about it, cause it seems to me like they don't exist despite the regular talk I've heard about them as an option for renting without a job.
Besides that, is there any other way to convince the agencies and/or owners that I'm good for the rent money? I know that some foreign people live in France long term (I'm guessing a number of them are on this forum), how do they/you do it?
