Miami attracts thousands of French people every year: expats, digital nomads, retirees or employees on mobility. Florida's capital offers an exceptional living environment between beaches, sunshine and intense cultural life. However, the rental market is competitive, especially in sought-after neighborhoods, and American landlords' requirements can surprise newcomers.
1-2 months security deposit
12 months minimum
Spring or fall (avoid winter)
Passport, visa, proof of income (3x rent), credit report
Where to live based on your profile and budget
Miami's financial and modern district. Skyscrapers, trendy restaurants, lively nightlife. Ideal for young professionals.
Upscale residential neighborhood with Mediterranean architecture. Excellent schools, tree-lined streets, close to University of Miami. Perfect for families.
Bohemian and artistic atmosphere. Cafes, galleries, neighborhood life. Authentic Miami far from skyscrapers. Popular with creatives and students.
Miami's street art district. Galleries, breweries, trendy restaurants. Gentrifying rapidly, ideal for creatives and entrepreneurs.
The iconic coastal strip with Art Deco and beaches. Very touristy and expensive. Avoid for long-term rental unless you have a substantial budget.
Thanks to Amelia, our family found a house in the Porto region, 8 minutes from the company where I work. It was not easy because we had the constraints of a big dog. Professionalism and availability were there throughout the process.

A big thank you to Lily for finding us our apartment for our university exchange in Seville. I highly recommend her, she was by our side until the end!

Sarah has found a shared room for our son who is going to study in Sweden. The most incredible thing is that this was done in 24 hours, in a tense rental market! Some will say it's a fluke but it's not. Sarah listened to our research, immediately contacted her network and made us a proposal the same day, a proposal that we definitively validated the next day after a video visit. Sarah was very responsive, very professional and really nice. She has all our gratitude for this tailor-made service.

Very satisfied with Michelle' services, we were able to find a very nice house in the center of Saint Paul. The support and the progress points were really perfect from start to finish and our criteria were respected. I highly recommend Michelle' services

Expect between $1,500 and $2,500 for a studio, $2,000 to $3,500 for a one-bedroom. Add the security deposit (1-2 months) and about $150-200 monthly utilities. For the first month, plan for 3-4 months' rent total.

Brickell for young professionals (modern, central), Coral Gables for families (residential, schools), Coconut Grove for bohemian vibes, Wynwood for creatives. Avoid Miami Beach for long-term rentals (too touristy and expensive).

Searching alone, expect 4-8 weeks. With a Remoters hunter, the average is 2-4 weeks. The hardest period is winter (snowbird influx). Spring or fall offer more options.

Landlords require: passport, visa or green card, proof of income (3x monthly rent), American credit report (or French bank letter), references from previous landlords. Without US credit history, an extra deposit may be required.

Yes, especially on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Red flags: prices too low, payment requested before viewing, landlord abroad, artificial urgency. Never pay without visiting or going through a verified process.
