Shared flat-sharing is an option that allows you to reduce your costs without losing your rights to personalised housing assistance (APL).

Practical Information

Housing subsidies

On the CAF website you will find details of applications for housing aid: personalised housing aid (APL), family housing allowance (ALF) or social housing allowance (ALS).

So do not hesitate to consult their site and make a simulation of assistance to find out your rights.

Assistance in obtaining a deposit

The VISALE - Visa pour le Logement et l'Emploi guarantee, which replaces the CROUS' CROUS' Caution Locative Étudiante (Clé) system, is a guarantee granted by Action Logement. For private landlords (owners), it is a reliable and free guarantee in case of unpaid rent or damage and exempts tenants from having to provide any other security when they submit their rental application.

The procedure, which is completely paperless, is carried out directly on the VISALE site and allows you to obtain a response within 48 working hours. The request must be submitted prior to the inventory of fixtures and the signature of your new rental contract. Please note that the VISALE guarantee does not exempt you from taking out housing insurance, which remains compulsory and for which you can also apply online.

Guides are available on Campus France: guide in English / guide in French.

It is also possible to benefit from other financial aid such as the Loca-Pass advance for the security deposit or the Mobili-Jeune subsidy to reduce the rent each month. As soon as your applications are made and your lease is signed, consider taking a step ahead of your move (signing an electricity, water and gas contract).
