Rental and rental management in the Pays de Gex: entrust your property to Rentalis
Do you own an apartment or a house in the Pays de Gex and want to rent it out or entrust it with rental management ? Between the pressure of the border market, the expectations of demanding tenants and constantly changing regulations, renting out your property requires method and expertise. Rentalis, your real estate agency specialising in rental and rental management in the Pays de Gex, accompanies you every step of the way to make your property profitable with complete peace of mind.
Why the Pays de Gex is a special rental market
Rental demand is driven by very specific profiles:
- the numerous and solvent cross-border workers working in Geneva who wish to reside on the French side;
- CERN employees and international researchers, often looking for furnished and well-located accommodation;
- international and expatriate civil servants, with comfortable budgets;
- families settled year-round, looking for houses and large apartments.
This tension is reflected in high rents: according to rental barometers, amounts of between €18 and €25/m² are commonly observed in municipalities such as Saint-Genis-Pouilly, Ferney-Voltaire or Gex, with higher peaks for furnished properties close to the tram and the border. For a landlord, this is a real opportunity — provided that they set their rent well, target the right tenant and secure their income.
Renting your property in the Pays de Gex: furnished or empty?
The first choice to make is that of the rental regime. Each one has a different tenant profile and tax logic.
Furnished rentals offer higher profitability (rents generally 10 to 20% higher), advantageous taxation via the LMNP status, and great flexibility thanks to the one-year lease. It is particularly attractive to mobile cross-border commuters, CERN researchers and newcomers, in studios, T2 and T3.
Empty rentals rely on stability: three-year lease, long-term tenants, simpler management. It corresponds to houses and large family dwellings in Cessy, Gex, Divonne-les-Bains or Ornex.
The right arbitrage depends on your property, your tax system and the level of involvement you want. This is precisely where the support of a local agency makes the difference.

Secure your rents and avoid non-payment
The fear of unpaid rent is the main obstacle for landlords. It is controlled with the right reflexes: serious selection of the tenant (professional stability, income representing 2.5 to 3 times the rent, complete file), solid guarantees (guarantor, Visale guarantee from Action Logement, unpaid rent insurance), clear and complete lease, and regular monitoring of payments with reaction from the first delay.
By entrusting your property to Rentalis, you benefit from all this rigour without having to manage it yourself: it is the safest way to protect your investment.
