French rental ad abbreviations worksheet with answers for French A2 (free PDF download)

Finding and visiting a rental flat – French A2 worksheet with Zoé, the Français PDF coach

Quick answer: To read a French rental ad, decode the short codes: T2 means two main rooms (a living room and one bedroom), cc means charges are included, meublé means furnished, and ét. For French A2 students practising rental ad abbreviations, this worksheet gives 20 problems from easy to hard: decode the codes, rental vocabulary and how many rooms?. The answer key is on a separate page, and the worksheet is a free printable PDF.

These twenty problems prepare you to read a French rental ad and talk to a landlord: decoding T2, cc and meublé, calculating the monthly total, and asking polite questions during a visit. They end with an email and a dialogue.

The set follows CEFR A2 reading: understand short practical texts and extract the key facts, such as price, size, floor and date.
