If your question isn’t here, write to us — in English is fine. We answer ourselves, and quickly.
Yes — that’s who this English version is for. You tell us where you’re looking and what you want, and Swappart watches the listings for you. Sign-up and your listing feed are in English, and the rest of the app is being translated. The messages Swappart writes to landlords stay in French, because that’s what French landlords answer.
Yes, and no credit card is needed. Searching, real-time alerts and the AI reading of listing photos are free and will stay free. Only automatic sending, where Swappart writes to landlords on your behalf, is paid — and only if you sign a lease.
In France, landlords choose tenants based on a rental file (“dossier”): ID, proof of income, employment contract, last tax notice, and details about your guarantor if you have one. Swappart helps you build it once in your account, so you can answer a listing within minutes. Your documents stay in your account: Swappart describes your situation, it never sends documents.
That rule of thumb is common in Paris. When you sign up, Swappart shows you straight away whether your income covers your target rent, and what would make your application work: a lower budget, a guarantor, the Visale guarantee, or the income of the person you’re moving in with.
Not necessarily. The Visale guarantee from Action Logement is free and many landlords accept it; it is open to most people under 30, with conditions (check your eligibility on visale.fr). Few applicants think of mentioning it — Swappart states it upfront in your message.
No. No portfolio, no property management: Swappart watches listings published by landlords, agencies and listing sites, and alerts you. Those listings are public — our value is in the sorting: Swappart reads them continuously and only shows you the ones that really match.
Listings from the major French sites and agencies — leboncoin, PAP, SeLoger, Bien’ici, Logic-Immo and agency websites — in a single feed, without duplicates.
By town and by Paris district (arrondissement), as many as you like: “Paris 11e, Montreuil, Bagnolet” can be combined in one search. Search by commute time, neighbourhood or radius is in preparation — it isn’t available yet, and we’d rather say so.
With automatic sending, yes, once you have signed your search mandate online (a legal requirement in France): Swappart sends a first message in your name as soon as a listing matches, answers the landlord’s questions about your situation, follows up if they don’t reply, and proposes a viewing slot that you confirm yourself. It does so when the listing gives a direct contact, an email address or a mobile number; when the only contact is a listing site’s internal messaging, the listing stays in your feed and you answer it yourself. Without automatic sending, you get the alert and write yourself.
Paris and the Île-de-France region, where the rental market is the tightest. Other cities will follow.
Tell us where you’re looking, what kind of home, and who will live in it. Your account is created at the end, and listing monitoring starts right away.
A few minutes, no credit card. Everything can be changed from your account.
