There is a <strong>real competition<\/strong> among candidates and the ball is definitely in the hands of the owners who choose obviously the safest (financialy speaking) and most stable profils. THEREFORE, when you start looking for a studio or an apartment, <strong>be reactive and well prepared<\/strong>. <br>When you go visit an accommodation, bring along a full file with all the copies of <strong>documents prooving your financial stability<\/strong>. French owners will expect previous years&#8217; tax declarations, salary payslip, work contract,&#8230;, documents that you may not have yet. So be prepared to show other <strong>reassuring <\/strong>documents and sharpen your arguments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><br><strong>2\/ A guarantor<\/strong> is requested in most applications for an accommodation (except in residences). It is even mandatory for all applications with a realestate agency. A guarantor is a French person (collegue, friend, family) who will vouch for you that he\/she will cover your rent expenses if you couldn&#8217;t pay anymore. The person can be from another nationality of course but he\/she needs to be living in France for several years as the owner will ask him\/her to prove his\/her financial stability with his\/her tax declaration.<br>Again, it&#8217;s a protection for the owner to make sure he\/she doesn&#8217;t rent to irresponsible tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have a guarantor, you can try to apply to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visale.fr\/visale-pour-les-locataires\/avantages\/\">VISALE<\/a>. It&#8217;s a national system created by the French governement to allow someone without guarantor to have a financial back up by the State, thus reassuring the landlords. For more information on <strong>Visale<\/strong>, please check their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visale.fr\/visale-pour-les-locataires\/avantages\/\">website<\/a>, specially about eligibility and acess conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3\/<\/strong>  <strong>The security deposit<\/strong> : most accommodations will require from you a security deposit. It&#8217;s an amount of money equivalent to about a month of rent, that you will give to the owner when you sign the lease. You&#8217;ll get this money back when you exit permanently the premises at the end of your stay, IF and only IF the accommodation rented has not suffered any damage. Otherwise any repair\/replacement will be financed using your security deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4\/<\/strong> When searching your accomodation among adds, always check out <strong>if the rent amount includes utilities or not<\/strong>. In French, utilities are called &#8220;les charges&#8221;.  They are composed of the electric bill, water bill, internet access (not always), heat (not always), building clean up and trash removal bills. The owner must specifiy which charges are included or not, so that you have an good estimate of your expenses.  Depending on what they include and the size of the apartment, you can budget anywhere between 60 to 120 \u20ac for utilities on a monthly basis usually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you calculate roughly your accomodation costs : <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rent without utilities for a studio\/efficiency\/1 room  (about 20m2) in Nantes is about 400\/500\u20ac per month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rent without utilities for a T2 (1 bderoom and 1 living room, about 35-40m2) in Nantes is about 600\/700\u20ac per month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>5\/<\/strong> Last but not least advice : <strong>be cautious about scams !!!  <\/strong><br>Unsecured websites compiling adds from private owners can be a good source of information but surely enough a large pond of scams.  Do not send money or wire from your bank in advance. Try to do as many checkings as possible : enter the owner&#8217;s name in your favority research engine. Check out the addess as well. Is it indeed an accommodation building ?  Ideally, before sending any money from abroad, if you know anyone already living in Nantes, ask him or her to go check out if the place exists or if the name of the owner is on a mailbox, little things like this&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professional website such as Airbnb are usually trustworthy as they are responsable for the content their publish.
