To respond to the complexity and risks of rental management, The French start-up Mr. Hugo unveils two innovations intended for owners : The use of AI to secure the entire rental route and a network of 750 professional agents mobilizable everywhere in France to delegate visits and observations, without going through an agency.
It is a figure that makes you hesitate before putting a property for rent : 67 % of rental files are fraudulent ! This observation drawn up by BFM in its program La Pépite sums up the growing discomfort of private landlords. In 2023, The false pay sheets exploded by 34 % (Le Figaro Immobilier) and the cost of a non -compliant contract can increase up to € 5,000 fine (DGCCRF). Added to this is another figure, more discreet, But just as speaking : 42 % of owners still write legally "imprecise" contracts, reveals Capital magazine. These risks weigh on everyday life. Car, in the vast majority of cases, The owner does not have an agency, no advisor, No room for maneuver. He sorts his applications alone, Check the documents, organize visits, Write the lease, manages the inventory. All often in an emergency, without legal training or professional tool.
Neither real estate agency nor simple application
To respond to this spiral of complexity, The French start-up Mr. Hugo offers his two innovations. On the one hand, An inventory boosted with artificial intelligence, which fully automates the procedure, the identification of equipment to the generation of the signed PDF, horodate and compliant. On the other, A network of 750 professional agents mobilizable everywhere in France, To allow donors to delegate visits and observations without having to use an agency and without sacrificing anything in rigor. Mr. Hugo does not claim to be an agency, nor as a simple application, But as an intelligent service infrastructure offering the lessor the freedom to manage alone without "the branches of the agency or the errors of an individual". "The lessor remains master of his decisions, But no longer sacrifices its evenings or tranquility ”, Declares Bruno Cantegrel, founder of Mr. Hugo, investor himself for over fifteen years.
Automated inventory
The first novelty launched by Mr. Hugo concerns the automation of a key step, but tedious : the condition of the premises. In its traditional version, He mobilizes an hour and a half, impose manual seizures, generates interpretation errors and requires secure archiving. The solution developed by the start-up radically reduces this friction. From a mobile application, The lessor films his accommodation : AI detects equipment, class photos by room, transcribes oral comments and compiles the whole in a compliant document, sign, Horodaté, geolocalized. The entire process is divided by four in duration, While gaining legal reliability.
The delegation to professional agents
Mr. Hugo makes available to donors a network of 750 professional agents spread across France (Excluding isolated areas), capable of making visits with candidates, the inventory states of entry and exit and the delivery and recovery of the keys. The prices start at 93 € including tax for a complete inventory. Each mission gives rise to a signed report, Sent and archived, without delay. This model allows distant donors, in a hurry or susolllicities to remain decision -makers without making yourself available.
