Visiting the Residence

Visits should be arranged by calling the person in charge in the Residence.

Rates

5 - Where can I find the rates for the apartments?

To get the montly rental rates please call us or send us an email.

6 - Which other charges need to be added to the monthly rent?

Some charges are not included in the rent. This is the case for charges such as:

• Electricity
• The "taxe d'habitation" (local residency tax: For more information, find the contact information for your local tax center on this website).
• Renter’s insurance (all of the practical information is available here).

The amount of these charges may vary depending on your place of residence, your lifestyle, and the time of year.

7 – Is there any additional fees?

We are not a rental agency, we do rental from one individual to another. No management fees or agency fees will be charged to you.

8 - What is the "security deposit"?

The "security deposit" is required when you sign the rental agreement. This sum of money, equivalent to a month's rent, allows the residence to protect itself against possible damage or unpaid rent.

There are programs to help you pay for the security deposit (e.g. Locapass financial aid).

Your security deposit will be returned in full within two months (the legal time period) of the final apartment inventory and condition report only in the case where the tenant has completely fulfilled his obligations, that is: paying the rent and fees in full, as well as returning the apartment in good condition (based on apartement inventory and condition report).

For foreign students who have opened a bank account after their departure, please remember to send your new bank account info to the Residence, and please mention your name as well as the occupancy period.

9 - If my rental agreement begins in the middle of a month, will I have to pay the entire monthly rent during the first month?

During the month in which you move in, your rent will be calculated in proportion to the number of days you occupy the apartment.

Roommates

10 - Can I rent an apartment with a roommate?

Sharing an apartment with roommates is allowed (depending on the size of the apartment).
Keep in mind that we don't coordinate apartment share arrangements for you. You must find a roommate on your own initiative. However, the names of the tenants will be written on the lease.
