Preparing your application
March 12 2024Preparing your application in advance
To prepare your application, you will need to collect a number of administrative documents. Don’t wait until the last minute!
Whatever the type of accommodation you are considering, CROUS residence or student residence, rental agency or private landord, the essential documents you need to assemble in order to prepare your application are :
- Valid proof of identity
- Proof of address
- Proof of professional status (i.e. your student card, school certificate or certificate of enrolment)
- Proof of income
These documents will also be required for the guarantor, if he or she is a physical or legal person.
Otherwise, you can use the Visale scheme.
Preparing and following up your application
Timing is also an important factor to take into account: as the season progresses, places become rarer and more expensive…So optimise your chances of finding accommodation that meets your expectations by starting your search as early as possible. Keep an eye on your mailbox, which is the preferred means of communication among rental operators: certain decisions will have to be made and confirmed within 48 hours of receiving the message.
