Why choosing a French-hosted tool matters for French landlords
As a landlord, you collect and process personal data from your tenants: name, address, ID documents, bank details, guarantor information. You are therefore a data controller under GDPR. EU regulation requires you to identify where that data is hosted and guarantee its protection. Hosting this data with a Bulgarian provider — as with Rentila — makes that exercise significantly more complex and potentially difficult to justify to data protection authorities.
Rentila operates in 8+ countries — France, Germany, Spain, the UK, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, and Finland. This international focus means the product is not optimised for French-specific requirements: IRL indexation, the 1989 tenancy act, Alur-compliant rent notices, or French rental income tax forms. A generalist international platform will offer generic templates requiring manual checking and adaptation. With FacturZen, documents are designed for the French rental market with mandatory legal mentions built in.
Rentila shows no public pricing page. After signing up you discover what's free vs. paid — a classic freemium tactic designed to get you invested before revealing the cost. FacturZen publishes its pricing prominently on the homepage: €7/month, no surprises.
Finally, there is the support question. When a tenant disputes a receipt, you have a question about IRL rent indexation, or you need help with rental income declaration, you need someone who knows French law and can answer in French. The FacturZen team is based in France and responds in French — it's as simple as that.
