Rental & Neighborhood Disputes — AzurX Private Investigator
AzurX Investigation works with landlords, property managers, and tenants in Antibes, Cannes, Nice, and throughout the French Riviera. Our approach is reassuring: objective facts, legality, and confidentiality.
Unscrupulous tenants, unpaid rent, illegal subletting
Breach of lease, rent payments that cease, lucrative accommodation hidden behind a standard lease… These cases are frequent, but difficult to prove definitively. We “know” there’s a problem, but we still need to be able to prove it without resorting to intrusive methods.
Réunir des éléments opposables, sans espionnage
Notre approche consiste à rassembler des éléments opposables en respectant la légalité et le RGPD :
-
OSINT ciblé : recherche d’annonces et de traces publiques (plateformes de location, réseaux sociaux, petites annonces, etc.) permettant de repérer une sous-location ou une activité lucrative dissimulée.
-
Observation aux créneaux pertinents : entrées et sorties, rotation des occupants, signes concrets d’usage intensif ou collectif du logement.
-
Recoupements de voisinage licites : retours factuels, non orientés, de personnes susceptibles d’avoir observé des comportements réguliers (fréquentation anormale, livraisons multiples, etc.).
-
Et, si nécessaire, préparation d’un constat avec un commissaire de justice pour figer les faits à une date précise.
Tout ce qui est recueilli est consigné dans un rapport structuré : dates, sources, observations, photos autorisées… Le but : fournir à ton avocat ou à ton administrateur de biens un outil exploitable pour appuyer une mise en demeure, une résolution de bail ou une procédure judiciaire.
Impayés, solvabilité et recouvrement
En cas d’impayés, l’enjeu n’est pas seulement de constater le retard, mais de savoir s’il existe un minimum de solvabilité permettant d’envisager un recouvrement efficace.
Nous pouvons compléter le dossier par :
-
une investigation patrimoniale (dans les limites légales),
-
des vérifications de solvabilité (activités déclarées, signes d’aisance, traces publiques d’un patrimoine ou de revenus).
Si le locataire a quitté les lieux en laissant une dette, une localisation de personne peut être engagée afin de permettre au créancier ou à son conseil de poursuivre sa démarche.Références de fond : la preuve, la qualité des preuves, et le respect de la légalité du recueil des informations.
Measure the disturbance, not the emotion
Our role is to objectify the disorder of enjoyment by transforming feelings into a factual case:
-
Implementation of a proportionate monitoring plan:
-
targeted time slots (e.g., nights, weekends),
-
presence at times considered sensitive,
-
time-stamped log of nuisances.
-
-
Environmental observations: precise description of noises, behaviors or deteriorations (frequency, intensity, duration, context).
-
Authorized photos or videos, taken in compliance with privacy and legal requirements.
-
Collection of consistent testimonies, when possible.
If the situation warrants it, we prepare a report in coordination with a judicial officer, which allows us to freeze the situation on a given date (for example, nuisances in common areas, recurring damage, illegal storage).
A report to facilitate mediation and procedures
The investigation file is designed to:
-
to facilitate mediation between the parties;
-
to allow action by the trustee or the landlord;
-
to support, as a last resort, legal proceedings.
The final report:
-
clearly distinguishes between observations, clues and evidence;
-
respects privacy, the GDPR, and the principles of legality and proportionality;
-
limits emotional interpretations in favor of concrete, dated and verifiable facts.
Useful references: the concept of evidence, the well-constructed investigation report, and the quality requirements for evidence.
Neighborhood disputes and nuisances: objectively assessing the disturbance of enjoyment
Repeated nighttime noise, music at all hours, disruptive professional activity in a residential building, damage to common areas… Neighborhood disputes are often highly emotional. For a building manager, landlord, or tenant, it is difficult to act without exposing themselves to criticism (“you’re exaggerating,” “it only happened once,” etc.).

I contacted AzurX Investigation, a local private detective agency, regarding a rental case that had become complicated ( unpaid rent and inconsistencies ). Their approach was clear, humane, and above all, very reassuring: they explained what was feasible, what wasn't, and the methodology they would use. The final report was structured, dated, and contained verifiable evidence. My lawyer was able to use it as a basis for the rest of the case. The service was discreet, professional, and I truly felt supported from beginning to end.
