At Luxury Hotelschool, we know that finding and renting accommodation is an important step in building your project. That’s why we support you with tailored solutions and trusted partners.
1. Housing in France
Finding and renting accommodation in France can be quite difficult for students. Start looking for accommodation as soon as possible. Don't hesitate to book accommodation, even if it's temporary, so that you have somewhere to sleep and store your belongings when you arrive. This will give you time to look for permanent accommodation later on.

The guarantor
When looking for accommodation in France, French and foreign nationals are required to provide a guarantor. The guarantor is legally responsible in the event of non-payment on your part. With a guarantor by your side, your landlord is confident in your ability to pay your rent in full and on time. Your guarantor must be a French tax resident, and must provide a payslip proving that his or her financial income is at least equal to three times the amount of the rent for the property. This is a major commitment, which is why it can be difficult to find one when moving to France.
Our partners offer rental guarantees
Home insurance
Whether you live in a student residence or a private apartment, you need to take out home insurance with an insurance company or bank. Basic insurance covers domestic damage and incidents such as fire, burglary and flooding. Proof of home insurance must be given to the landlord before you receive the keys to the apartment. If you can't get one from your bank, you can obtain home insurance from our partners:
- Gecina
- Paris Hospitality
- Feel Francais
- Or the insurance company HEYME. of which Luxury Hotelschool is a partner
Security deposit
For all types of accommodation, a security deposit is required. The security deposit is a sum paid directly to the landlord by the tenant before moving in. It must be mentioned in the lease. The amount varies between one and two months' rent (excluding charges), depending on the type of accommodation (furnished or unfurnished). The security deposit is a sum intended to cover any damage noted on your departure and directly attributed to you, justifying non-reimbursement of the security deposit. This sum must cover all or part of your rental debt at the time of your departure. Except in the case of major damage or unpaid rent, the security deposit will be reimbursed in full or in part after your departure - no later than two months after the return of the keys.
Housing assistance (CAF)
Once you have your rental contract, you can apply to the Caisse d'allocations familiales (CAF) for housing assistance. This is a social fund that helps subsidize student accommodation on a monthly basis. The most common subsidy is theAide personnalisée au logement (APL), which you can obtain if you are an international student (EU and non-EU) studying in France and hold a temporary residence permit.
The amount of the allowance depends on the amount of rent you pay, your personal situation and the type of apartment you rent. The APL can be sent directly to you, or it can be sent to the landlord, which means you pay less rent each month.
