Les Estudines Les Minimes

The French FAQ describes a security deposit equivalent to one month’s rent at lease signing, held against unpaid amounts or damage. It states repayment within two months after the exit inspection, subject to rents/charges being paid and the apartment returned in good condition. Confirm the residence’s contract, bank details and any supported deductions.

The French FAQ describes one-off non-refundable application/lease charges of €12, €10 or €8 per square metre according to the rental zone, plus €3 per square metre for the entry inventory. These are its published amounts, not a universal flat fee. Obtain the residence’s itemised current quote; promotions can reduce fees and are not assumed for every booking.

Select the residence and apartment, pre-book and complete the Personal Rental Space with supporting documents. Receipt of the request is not a reservation confirmation; the reservation centre must accept the completed file. The FAQ requests student/status evidence, ID, income evidence where applicable and evidence of the last accommodation. Student proof may follow later if not yet issued, and foreign documents need not be translated. Home-insurance evidence is required for the lease. Students and interns are the main audience; young workers may be accepted subject to availability.

Rent is monthly; the first partial month is calculated in proportion to days occupied. The FAQ does not publish one payment method, due date or advance-instalment arrangement for all residences, so obtain that schedule from the residence and lease.

Les estudines recommends a guarantor to strengthen the application. The FAQ allows a guarantor of another nationality or living outside France, provided they understand and can sign the French contract. Physical attendance at the inventory/key handover is not required if the documents are signed beforehand. Acceptance of a particular application remains with the residence.

To leave, the FAQ requires notice to the residence by registered letter with acknowledgement or a hand-delivered letter, respecting the notice period in the actual lease. An exit inventory is required; a free pre-inventory can be requested 15 days before departure. This FAQ does not establish a universal pre-booking refund, notice duration or visa/university-place release.
