Student room and studio: how to find your home ?
If you have not been admitted to a university residence or if you are looking for more independence, you can turn to renting a room or a student studio on your own:
Between individuals
The private owners of apartments of small surfaces (less than 30 m²) have a strong student clientele :
- They offer furnished or unfurnished accommodation, most often with an equipped kitchenette and a private bathroom.
- Some of them are eligible for housing assistance from CAF or ALS.
Be careful though! The quality / price ratio of these accommodations is extremely variable.
- You will have to visit several before finding the right one!
With a real estate agency
Real estate agencies have multiple advantages when it comes to renting. Indeed, they take care of all the details. It is enough for you :
- To submit a complete application
- To fill in your rental criteria (budget, surfaces, place of research)
This implies a considerable saving of time.
- The lots they offer will surely be of superior quality and comply with the laws in force
- Remember to consult the law in force (ALUR) which determines the ceilings according to the agglomeration of your rental
