What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

When I buy a house, do I automatically own all items the previous owner failed to remove from the property?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
