Questions we often get

Can I get housing benefit (APL) for my room at Immotav?

Yes. Our accommodation is officially declared furnished rental housing, which qualifies for French state housing benefit (known as APL or ALS, depending on your situation) paid by the CAF.

To build your CAF file, you will need:

  • your signed lease agreement;
  • your rent receipts, which we provide every month on request.

Students from outside the EU: since 1 July 2026, APL is limited to those who receive a means-tested scholarship, with some exceptions (notably if you work, are on an apprenticeship, or are a refugee or stateless person). EU, EEA and Swiss nationals are not affected.

The amount you receive depends on your income and personal situation. You can run your own simulation directly on caf.fr (French only, but the form is straightforward).

What is the Visale guarantee, and do you accept it?

Visale is a free rental guarantee scheme run by Action Logement, a French state body. It replaces a human guarantor: if a rent payment is missed, Visale advances the rent to the landlord, then recovers the amount directly from the tenant.

It is open to students and apprentices under 31, including international students, with no nationality requirement.

We accept Visale for all of our accommodation. The application is done online, before the lease is signed, at visale.fr.

I'm an international student with no guarantor in France: what are my options?

This is a very common situation for us: many of our tenants come from abroad. You do not need a guarantor living in France. Two options are available:

  • the Visale guarantee, a free state-backed scheme open to international students under 31 (see the dedicated question above);
  • a guarantor based abroad: depending on your file, a guarantor outside France can be considered, with translated proof of income.

Tell us about your situation as soon as you first get in touch, and we will point you to whichever option is simplest for you.
