Tenants: Action Logement can help

Subsidies fromAction Logement are designed to help people gain access to rental accommodation or stay in it, particularly in the event of financial difficulties. The VISALE scheme run by Action Logement (formerly run by the Crous) enables you to obtain a rental deposit to rent your accommodation and ensure that the landlord receives the rent in the event of unpaid rent. The Loca-Pass advance is a free advance, paid in priority to your landlord, to finance the security deposit for the duration of the tenancy. The Loca-Pass guarantee: a joint guarantee given to the landlord to ensure payment of your rent and service charges in the event of default. Young people on work-study contracts can apply for Mobili-Jeune assistance to help finance part of the rent.

Visale: my landlord is reassured

The Visale guarantee strengthens the tenant's application by reassuring the landlord. The tenant is guaranteed to receive the rent for the duration of the lease. This scheme means that the tenant does not need to provide any other guarantee to the landlord. However, the guarantee is limited to 36 unpaid monthly installments.
Conditions for benefiting (since April 1, 2018):
- the tenant can be a student aged 30 or under, or be an employee aged over 30 in the private sector (excluding agriculture) hired for less than 6 months. Please note that the Visale guarantee only applies during the first six months of employment. The guarantee also applies to households entering private rental accommodation via an approved rental intermediation organization
- the property must be the tenant's main residence. It may be rented empty or furnished, and must belong to a private lessor, whether an individual or a legal entity, excluding HLM organizations.
- the rent, including charges, must not exceed 1,500 euros in inner Paris or 1,300 euros in the rest of France at the time the lease is signed
- the Visale guarantee is granted if the household's effort rate to pay the rent does not exceed half their income. For young people aged 30 or under with an open-ended contract, or for civil servants, the rate of effort is between 30% and 50%. For students aged 30 or under, the guarantee will be granted without means-testing, up to a maximum rent of 425 euros. Above this maximum rent, students will be subject to the conditions laid down for other categories of tenant.

A housing assistance scheme has been designed to act as an intermediary between landlords and young tenants in rent payment disputes. Thanks to Visale, young tenants under the age of thirty can honor their lease contract by providing the landlord with each monthly rental payment. It is therefore advisable to take the time to apply for this assistance before moving in.
