Accommodation support

Do I need a guarantor to rent my accommodation ?

Visale is a guarantee which makes it easier for you to access housing! This solution is part of the Action Logement scheme for all young people under 30 years of age, new recruits and staff undertaking professional mobility.

  • 100% free security deposit in just a few clicks
  • An alternative to a physical guarantor, more reliable and straightforward
  • Cover throughout your lease period*
  • Peace of mind for you and your future landlord!

Need help with the security deposit ?

Pay the security deposit required by your lessor immediately thanks to the LOCA-PASS advance, and repay it in instalments over a maximum period of 25 months. The maximum amount that the advance can cover is €1,200.

Housing assistance (APL or ALS)

Even if you are not on a student grant, you may still be eligible for the Personalised Housing Assistance (APL) or Social Housing Allowance (ALS). Both these forms of housing assistance are granted by the Family Benefits Fund (CAF) based on social means (income, family circumstances, type of housing, etc.). They cannot be received as well as parents’ family benefits for children under 20 years of age. Students who wish to receive housing assistance are no longer considered to be dependent on their parents for entitlement to family benefits.
