Monaco Rental Guide
Monaco Rental Guide
The Monaco rental market is a competitive landscape given the high demand for local rents and a limited number of properties available throughout the year.
We offer an extensive portfolio of Monaco property rentals, featuring an exclusive selection of prime real estate, including off-market properties not publicly advertised. If you’re seeking a residence in Carré d’Or, Larvotto, Fontvieille, Monte-Carlo, La Condamine, Port Hercule, La Rousse, Le Jardin Exotique, or Monaco-Ville – we have a number of available properties to choose from.
For each rental request, we conduct a comprehensive market search, seeking the most suitable property until we find the perfect apartment tailored to your needs.
Explore our guide below to see what the rental process looks like and how you can get started.

Before signing the lease, the second payment includes 3 months rent and 3 months service charges, the lease registration fee, administrative stamps, and inventory costs.
Monaco’s apartment rental terms and conditions adhere to standards set out by the Chambre Immobiliere de Monaco (Monaco Chamber of Real Estate).
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A RENTAL OFFER IS ACCEPTED
Upon acceptance of a rental offer, we facilitate utility connections, register the lease, conduct a property condition assessment, and oversee the keys handover. Additionally, we arrange mandatory household contents insurance. Once the lease is registered (approximately within 10 working days), residents can then apply for a residency card.
