In most cases, you will need a guarantor ("garant" or "caution solidaire"), i.e. a resident of the EU with a monthly income equal or higher than three times the amount of your rent, answerable in particular for unpaid rent. In addition, you will have to pay a deposit ("caution" or "dépôt de garantie") of at least one month rent which will be returned at your departure provided no damage has been caused.
An inventory ("état des lieux") must be established on the first day and last day of occupation. Everything that is not in good condition must be mentioned as the total refund of your deposit depends on it. For further information about accommodation

The lease ("bail") is compulsory and regulated when you rent an empty flat. It is usually signed for one year and can be renewed but if you want to leave you have to send a notice (« préavis ») to your landlord or estate agency one to three months (according to the lease) before departure.
It is compulsory to subscribe a housing insurance valid from the first day of rental, to cover possible damages such as fire or flooding
