Hassle-free student housing - Studapart
If you've already started the process, you now know the reality of the student housing situation. What about a guarantor? If you are an international student and you don't have a guarantor in France, this can be a real obstacle to your application. And this is where Studapart comes in!

To get the owner's contact information, you need to register for an account on my student services.
Student housing via agency - Bienici
It is important to remember that bienici is not a real estate ad site like the others. This site gathers the best of technology with a precise geolocation of the properties (like Streetview or Google Maps can offer). As well as all the data concerning a city or a neighborhood to see if it suits you or not. The icing on the cake is that bienici is reserved for real estate agencies, so there is good and bad news. The good news is that the ads are normally verified and real. So, there is nothing to fear from a possible scam. On the other hand, agencies mean agency fees!
Moreover, on this subject, we remind you that the agency fees cannot exceed one month of rent. Also, the inventory of fixtures cannot exceed 3 euros / square meter of living space. If you have any doubt about the agency fees, do not hesitate to use the public service simulator.
