Introduction
For every landlord, rent security is a top priority. In Chaville, Viroflay, and their surroundings, rental demand remains strong, but the fear of unpaid rent or rental vacancy is very real. At GUY HOQUET CHAVILLE - VIROFLAY, we have been supporting owners wishing to entrust the management of their properties to an expert team for over 40 years. This article explains how rent guarantees, and more broadly, rent security, can protect your rental income, ensure your peace of mind, and help you enhance your assets.
Why is rent security essential for landlords in Chaville and Viroflay?
Rent security is a crucial issue for every landlord. In an attractive region like Chaville and Viroflay, market stability alone is not enough to fully protect against unpaid rent or payment delays. According to the latest data from the Rent Observatory, about 2 to 3% of rentals experience a payment incident each year, making the implementation of appropriate protection measures essential. Landlords are thus exposed to financial risks, but also emotional ones, as managing unpaid rent can quickly become a source of concern. Taking preventive measures allows for the sustainability of real estate investment while maintaining a serene relationship with the tenant.
Overview of rent guarantees: what solutions to protect your income?
Several solutions exist to ensure the regularity of rent and secure your investment. The first of these, the Unpaid Rent Guarantee (GLI), allows for compensation in the event of tenant default. Other complementary guarantees, such as legal protection and coverage for damages, can be added for enhanced security. For owners wishing to delegate all management, the services offered by a specialized agency, like GUY HOQUET CHAVILLE - VIROFLAY, generally include these devices, thus allowing for comprehensive support, from tenant selection to rent collection.
The State has also implemented devices like the Visale guarantee, aimed at securing landlords' income while facilitating access to housing for tenants, especially young professionals (visale.fr).
Operation and advantages of Unpaid Rent Guarantees (GLI)
The Unpaid Rent Guarantee is an optional insurance taken out by the owner or by the mandated agency. It covers the payment of rent in case of unpaid rent, manages litigation procedures, and, in some cases, covers property damage. This guarantee offers several advantages:
- Regularity of income: rents are paid even in the event of tenant default.
- Comprehensive coverage: it often comes with legal assistance and support in recovery procedures.
- Peace of mind: the owner no longer has to directly manage conflicting situations.
At GUY HOQUET CHAVILLE - VIROFLAY, we rigorously select guarantees suited to your profile, after a precise analysis of your property and your expectations. This personalized approach allows for choosing the most relevant solution, combining security and flexibility.
How to choose your rent guarantee well? Key points to check
Choosing a rent guarantee should not be taken lightly. Several criteria deserve your attention:
- Amount of coverage: check the compensation ceiling and the duration of coverage.
- Scope of guarantees: some policies only cover unpaid rent, while others also include damages, rental vacancy, or litigation costs.
- Eligibility conditions: insurances often require strict criteria for tenant selection (income, permanent contract, absence of banking incidents…).
- Cost of the guarantee: it varies according to the formula and the level of protection desired, generally between 2.5% and 4% of the annual amount of collected rents (Service-Public.fr - GLI).
The support of a local expert agency like ours guarantees optimal selection of products and transparent management of administrative procedures.

Better understanding rental vacancy and solutions to limit it
Rental vacancy represents a direct loss of income for the landlord.

Our approach consists of enhancing the property as soon as it is put up for rent, targeting the right tenant profiles, and ensuring a responsive management of requests.
Specific guarantees exist to cover periods of rental vacancy, but they are still not widespread. According to the Federation of Real Estate Professionals, by 2026, 67.5% of real estate agencies plan to increase their investment in digital technologies. Our team informs you about the best practices to adopt and the available devices to secure your rents, while ensuring the preservation and attractiveness of your real estate assets (statistics on rental vacancy - INSEE).
