The Caisse d’Allocations Familiales (CAF) provides student with financial aid to pay rent. This assistance, called the ‘Aide personnalisée au logement’ (APL, social housing grant) varies according to the type of housing and individuals’ financial resources. You can apply for this allowance online. For non-EU students, you will need a residence permit that is valid for over 3 months.
Housing Applications
During your stay, you will have to pay your rent before the 10th of each month. You can go to the accounting departement, or pay online.
Submitting an application does not guarantee you will be assigned housing. Only the housing assignment confirmation, sent by the Housing Office and based on availability, ensures you have been assigned housing.
Accommodation insurance
Personal insurance is obligatory no matter your accommodation, whether you are staying with a friend or renting in the private sector.
The insurance amount varies (between €30 and €70 per year) depending on the size of the apartment, the number of rooms and the risks insured (fire, theft, water damage, civil liability, damage to adjacent buildings…).
