Here's a short introduction to our Renting section for those looking to rent a house or apartment in Luxembourg.Renting versus buying a home in Europe is a common dilemma expats face when they arrive in their new location. You will need to take many factors into consideration before deciding, including how long you plan to live in your new country of residence and the current property market, and ‘Buying or renting a house in Luxembourg’ offers useful advice.
Unless your company provides expat apartments, or you can find something through friends, it is advisable to go through a reliable rental agency. Expatica’s A-Z listing can help you find an agency in your area.

What a good rental agent should know
As one Expatica article states: “A good agent should be able to tell you about the market, city, price and quality of housing—as well as restrictions that apply to expats, arrange visits for you, negotiate with landlords and provide a contract in English. Make sure they have a good choice of properties on their books.”
Rules and regulations for expat renting will differ depending on where you live. Therefore, make sure that you understand the terms of your rental contract.
