The problems you will encounter on the French rental market?
THE PROBLEM – Foreign nationals are penalised by the French rental system. Landlords in France are tied by very strict rental legislation which favours the tenant. For this reason most landlords will choose to rent to French nationals as opposed to foreign nationals. In the case of a dispute landlords are content in the knowledge that French nationals can be summoned to a French court.
OUR SOLUTION – We work only with landlords who accept foreign nationals as tenants.

THE PROBLEM – French landlords are often very busy (and frequently impatient) people. They will at all costs avoid any extra obstacles such as a language barrier when choosing a tenant. Your French may be good, but a landlord will automatically eliminate your application for tenancy if he believes that extra effort will be required on his behalf in order to communicate with you.
OUR SOLUTION – We will submit your request and liaise with landlords on your behalf in French. Your request is formulated in a manner that is familiar to a French landlord, thus eliminating the idea of extra effort. The landlord appreciates our presence knowing that communications will be facilitated throughout your stay.

THE PROBLEM – Short-term housing (less than 1 year) is difficult to secure as most landlords prefer to rent on a long term basis (1 year+).
OUR SOLUTION – We select only apartment owners who are willing to rent for your requested duration of time, thus avoiding any difficulties between you and your landlord when you terminate your contract at the end of your stay.

THE PROBLEM – French landlords are wary of all tenants. They will request documents and reassurance before letting their property to you.
OUR SOLUTION – The fact that you have retained our services will demonstrate to a landlord that you can be trusted to make payment, that you have chosen to secure your accommodation in an efficient and mature manner and that you have the support of your parents and Student Accommodation France.

THE PROBLEM – The French rental market is riddled with scams and fraudulent adverts. It is the foreign population that most frequently falls foul to this type of activity. Due to distance, language and cultural barriers you will not be able to carry out fundamental checks before submitting payment.
OUR SOLUTION – We work with a well established network of landlords throughout France. Each new landlord will undergo a certain number of checks and we will advise you on the most secure methods to complete your transaction with a landlord. We will considerably reduce the risk of you becoming a victim of fraudulent activity on the French rental market.

THE PROBLEM – France is well known for its highly complicated administrative system. You could easily spend a great deal of your time in France trying to get the correct information, filling out forms and making phone calls for what would normally be a simple procedure in your own country.
OUR SOLUTION – At Student Accommodation France we can provide you with administrative support during your rental period. We will advise you on applying for financial aid for your apartment, taking out a French insurance for your accommodation, opening a bank account, opening contracts with service providers…
