The booking process in France requires a few steps. First of all, you should know that each year there are a lot of requests for a few rental offers. While you are looking for a studio, a shared apartment, an apartment, or a CROUS accommodation, you have to do it early enough. ⏰
To rent student accommodation, you can go through an agency, a private landlord, or the CROUS services. Depending on the city and the type of accommodation, prices differ. It will take an average of € 600 monthly rent, and in Paris, this price rises to around € 800. For the CROUS, it is 350 € on average and 450 € in Paris. 👌
Then, you will be requested a lot of different documents. Most private landlords and agencies will ask for it ...
Show moreHome insurance is also compulsory as long as you rent a property in France! It is used to cover your home in the event of fire, flood, or theft, for example.
Housing insurance will no doubt be required by your landlord to enter your student accommodation. CAF (Caisse d 'Allocations Familiales) will also request it to obtain your APL (Personalized Housing Assistance, on average € 150 per month).
As an international student, it can be difficult to subscribe for housing insurance. Luckily for you, LivinFrance offers you suitable offers: online housing insurance, payment by credit card (the one from your country of origin works), and above all partners who speak English and French to answer all your questions! The subscription can be done within a few minutes...
