Some residences offer the option of hiring a parking space (indoor or outdoor). To reserve one, you should contact the manager of the residence where you wish to book directly.

You will need to sign your lease and make the initial payments (application fees, deposit, first monthly rent) before you arrive. You will also need to take out the compulsory home insurance. It will take effect on the day you move in.

The inventory of fixtures is a document drawn up between the tenant and the residence, which describes the state of the accommodation before and after your stay. This written document is drawn up in two copies (one for the tenant and one for the residence). If any damage is found during your rental period, the residence will have the right to deduct the amount of the repairs from the security deposit you paid before taking up your tenancy.

It is possible to change accommodation subject to availability. Please contact the residence manager directly for more information.

Housing assistance is a social benefit provided by the CAF. (Family Services) It can help you finance part of the rent. This is calculated on the basis of your income and your family situation. You may be eligible for APL (Aide personnalisée au logement) under certain conditions. Attention, not to be confused with the ALS (Allocation de logement social) for people living in social housing, i.e. managed by the state.

You can estimate the amount of your housing assistance using a simulator on the CAF website.

You apply after signing the lease.

To obtain housing assistance, you must apply on the caf.fr website. Fill in the section that applies to you, then send the rent certificate to the residence for completion. Once you have collected these documents, you can send them to the CAF responsible for your place of residence. How long it takes to get a reply depends on the processing time for your CAF.

It is the tenant who has to declare the resources, not the guarantors.

The housing assistance payments start the month after you move in. For example, if you move in on 19th September, you will receive your allowance at the beginning of October. All CAF allowances are paid in arrears.

Yes, just as much as in individual rentals. Even in a shared flat you have an individual lease, as you will have your own bathroom and toilet. The amount you receive in housing assistance is based solely on the rent you are charged personally.

The administration fee paid by the tenant before arrival covers the residence's costs in creating and managing the tenant's file throughout their stay. This includes providing a reservation advisor, drafting the lease, a visit to the premises, drafting the inventory of fixtures, as well as an appointment for the handover of keys.
Our fees are simple and their cost complies with the ALUR law, ratified in 2014. The amount also depends on the number of square metres you rent and the city where you are renting.

The security deposit is used to cover any failure by the tenant to meet rental obligations (for example, missed rent or utilities payments or carrying out repairs). The deposit must be paid to the landlord when the lease is signed, or within 8 days if signed electronically. The amount of the security deposit is set at one month's rent.

After the inventory of fixtures, the deposit is reimbursed within one month of your departure if no damage is found or within two months if you are re-billed. Deductions for any costs of restoration, damage, loss or cleaning found may be applied.

The security deposit cannot be used as a rent payment under any circumstances.
