Founty, Marina, Talborjt, Hay Mohammadi: the neighbourhoods to rent in Agadir, rents in dirhams and the rules of the Moroccan lease.
To rent an apartment in Agadir, you choose the neighbourhood first according to your budget. Founty, Haut Founty and the Marina concentrate the upmarket housing near the sea. Talborjt offers city-centre life. Hay Mohammadi, Tilila, Hay Salam, Bensergao and Dakhla remain the most affordable residential neighbourhoods, calmer and often more spacious.
Rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, the capital of the Souss has wide avenues, a pedestrian seafront promenade along the beach and a varied rental market, from the studio in a residence to the villa with a pool. The market is getting tighter, though, because of tourist rentals: in summer, part of the housing switches to nightly rentals, at the expense of year-round lets.
This is the seaside area most sought after by expat families and retirees. Agadir's French lycée is there, along with a Marjane hypermarket and many restaurants. Rents there are among the highest in the city, and the villas with pools in Sonaba the most expensive.
A little back from the sea, Haut Founty is a calm residential neighbourhood that offers a good balance between quality and price. It is often the right option to enjoy being close to Founty without paying seafront prices.
Modern residences, restaurants and leisure within walking distance: the Marina is in high demand for upmarket furnished lets. It is also an area favoured by holidaymakers, where year-round rental supply shrinks in summer.
A central, lively neighbourhood, Talborjt suits young professionals and students. You find modern apartments in residences, near shops, cafés and transport.
A popular, well-served residential neighbourhood, Hay Mohammadi offers some of the most accessible rents in Agadir. It suits families and tenants who want to keep control of their budget.
These more outlying neighbourhoods are modern, quiet and family-oriented. Homes there are often larger for a moderate rent, as long as you accept slightly longer journeys to the sea and the centre.
The ranges below are indicative, taken from listings on Moroccan portals. They vary a lot depending on the condition of the home, the furniture and the residence:
On top of the rent come the syndic charges, which vary by residence (caretaker, lift, pool), and water and electricity bills, generally paid by the tenant. Also plan for the security deposit, capped by law at two months' rent.
Nationally, demand for long-term rentals rose 9.24% in 2025 while the supply of listings fell 3.12%, according to the annual review from the Mubawab portal presented in January 2026. In Agadir, tourist rentals amplify the phenomenon: in summer, furnished apartments rent for up to 1,500 dirhams a day, reports Bladi.net in August 2026, which pushes some landlords to take their property off the year-round market. As early as summer 2025, Le360 noted that the rise in seasonal prices was also reaching working-class and outlying neighbourhoods such as Dakhla, Salam or Tilila.
Students at Ibn Zohr University see it at the start of every academic year: interviewed by Le360 in September 2026, they describe rooms that are scarce and expensive, and apartments rented by the night at over 500 dirhams. In January 2026, the Secretary of State for Housing told Parliament that a study was under way on a regulated rent model, about 20% below market prices, and that regulating tourist rentals by decree was being considered. Nothing is in force at this stage.
Residential rentals are governed by law no. 67-12. The key points for a tenant:
If possible, ask for a contract drafted in French and Arabic, or have it translated before signing, to avoid any ambiguity over the duration, the charges included and the termination conditions.
Owners and agencies in Agadir generally ask for:
Some landlords prefer a transfer in dirhams: opening a local bank account in advance makes moving in easier.
Most listings are on the Moroccan portals Avito and Mubawab, supplemented by local estate agencies. Online listings are not always up to date: an advertised property may already be let, or may not match the photos. A viewing, on site or by video with someone you trust, remains essential before any commitment.
Timing matters in Agadir. In areas near the beach (Founty, the Marina), year-round rental supply is more plentiful from October to April, when owners no longer count on summer customers. In summer, by contrast, many furnished lets switch to nightly rentals. For student neighbourhoods, avoid the weeks before the start of the university year if you can.
A large part of the upmarket supply is furnished, which simplifies moving in from abroad. Unfurnished homes are more common in residential neighbourhoods and better suited to a long lease. For a commitment of a year or more, some owners are willing to discuss the rent, especially for an unfurnished property.
During the viewing, check the plumbing, electricity and air conditioning, the building's security, the available internet connection and the exact amount of the syndic charges. Also ask to see the land title or ownership certificate, to make sure the person renting out the property has the right to do so.
Offers scattered across several portals, sometimes outdated listings, viewings that are hard to organise remotely: searching alone from France takes time.
