| | Either through an agency, or private market, if you are not subleasing you will have to set up electricity from the EDF and gas from the GDF. This is relatively easy, all you need to do is make a call to the EDF office or pass by the office in the centre of town. Once contacted they will ask you to hand in documents or photos showing the number and current counter position on the gas and electricity counters. After that you will have to go to the office to sign your contract (which is not always necessary) and you are settled. You will also have to acquire renters insurance which should cost roughly 80 Euro for the year. Internet providers for your apartment are plenty, but FREE is NOT recommended, though their phone plans are very good. Numericable has fiber-optic lines through some of Nancy, and are very quick to install your Internet, sometimes offering it same day. The best (fastest)internet connection that is available in most private housing is by Numericable, prices are ok but Numericable has some shitty reputation on stalling people who try to end their contract so beware for any abuse. Officially, when you are able to represent a signed document stating that you are moving to another adress which is not in France you should be able to break your contract. | | Either through an agency, or private market, if you are not subleasing you will have to set up electricity from the EDF and gas from the GDF.
