PUBLIC RESIDENCES

  • CROUS residences

The CROUS (Centre Régional des Œuvres Universitaires et Scolaires) is a public institution linked to the Ministry of Higher Education and Research. As part of its remit, it manages student residences, which are public and subsidised by the State.

These residences are the most sought-after accommodation for students because of their low rents and eligibility for housing benefit. However, demand for CROUS accommodation far outstrips supply.

To apply for accommodation in a CROUS residence, you need to complete a Dossier Social Étudiant (DSE).

For more information, go to:

– CROUS Versailles

  • Young workers’ hostels

If you are a student aged between 16 and 30, you can be accommodated in a young workers’ hostel (FJT) or youth accommodation.

Find a place in Ile-de-France

Examples (close to campus):

CLJT Clichy
Foyer des jeunes travailleurs de la cité des fleurs

Located in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, the CIUP is a vast complex of student residences. Every year, it welcomes 12,000 residents of 150 different nationalities. They are housed in one of the 43 houses on the campus, which is nestled in 34 hectares of ecologically responsible parkland.

Room rents vary according to comfort, age and length of stay.

Eligibility requirements:

– Be enrolled at a school in the Paris region

– Preparing at least a Master 1 degree.

HOUSING SEARCH PLATFORMS

If you can’t find a place in a student residence, renting accommodation from private individuals or estate agents is a good option.

However, be careful when looking for accommodation on the internet, particularly on websites that put people in touch with each other: there are plenty of scams out there.

Read the advice from Studapart to avoid scams.

Our partners:

Studapart gives you easy access to accommodation anywhere in France for a minimum period of one month. All the procedures are carried out on a single platform.

To get started, click on “Espace Locataire” and register using your EM Normandie login details.

Do you have any questions? Contact Studapart by telephone on +33 1 80 92 64 01 or by email booking@studapart.com

Tip: if you are interested in student residences, it is preferable to rent directly from the residences, without going through the Studapart platform, so as not to multiply the fees you have to pay.

 

Looking for a flat share? “La Carte des Colocs” is a good solution. Launched in 2013, this independent site aims to put an end to the domination of paid portals in the online flatsharing sector.

OBTAINING A GARANTOR

When you rent accommodation in France, you will be asked to provide a guarantor when you set up your rental file.

The guarantor is a natural person or an organisation that stands surety for you.

If you don’t know a French person who can act as a guarantor, you have alternatives.

This rental deposit is free and available up to the age of 30.

International students? Check out the Campus France tutorial.

 

Take advantage of a 10% discount on guarantee fees by using the promo code EMNORMANDIE.

  • Studapart guarantee

If you find accommodation via their platform, Studapart can act as your guarantor for the duration of your rental.

HOUSING BENEFIT

  • Caisse d’Allocations Familiales (CAF) assistance

You may be able to get help from the CAF to pay your rent if you meet the following 4 conditions:

– You are French or a foreign national with a valid residence permit

– You rent decent accommodation

– You are not related to the owner of the property you are renting

– Your income (salary, grant, etc.) is below certain ceilings.

If you are sharing, you are still eligible for housing benefit. The rent used to calculate the assistance is divided according to the number of flatmates. Each flatmate must make their own application for housing benefit.

Calculate the amount of assistance you could receive here.

This is a lease for furnished accommodation only, intended for a “temporary” audience. The major advantage is that the tenant is not required to pay a security deposit to the landlord.

Beware of the duration of the mobility lease:

– Concluded for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 10 months,

– Non-renewable and non-renewable,

– Modifiable once by amendment, but the total duration may not exceed 10 months.

– When the lease ends, if the tenant and owner sign a new lease for the same property, the new lease must be a “classic” residential lease.

HOME INSURANCE

It is compulsory to insure your accommodation, whether you have found it with a private individual or a student residence. This insurance protects you and your home in the event of a claim (fire, water damage, natural disaster, etc.).
