Are Colonies homes eligible for APL?
The “Aide Personnalisée au Logement” or APL is financial aid delivered by the “Caisse d’Allocations Familiales” (CAF) in order to help tenants to pay their rents in France.
Good news! All our apartments are eligible for APL.
Please note that the ALS/APL can only be applied for once the lease has started.
However, you can still do an initial simulation on the caf.fr website to find out if you are eligible.
Here are the criteria to be specified:
Postal code (“Code postal du logement concerné“) : You can find it in the Location tab of a residence’s page
Category (“Vous résidez en”) : Room / Chambre
Furnished (“Votre location est meublée”) : Yes / Oui
Your monthly rent incl. charges (“Part de votre loyer mensuel (charges comprises)“) : All prices displayed on our website include charges
If you’re eligible, you’ll be able to generate your CAF certificate directly from your tenant space once you’ve moved in, then make the request yourself on the caf.fr website.
Do I need a guarantor?
A guarantor is not mandatory for our Coliving residences. We only require a guarantor if your income is below 2.5 times the rent.
The guarantor must be a tax resident of France and have an income higher than 3 times the rent.
If you don't have a physical guarantor, don't worry: you can subscribe to an online guarantor service with our partner SmartGarant.
Can I use the Visale guarantee?
Yes, we accept the Visale guarantee.
What is the minimum length of stay?
Our leases are non-binding, with one month's notice. However, we prefer long stays (i.e. over 3 months).

Virtual tours:
We offer virtual tours so you can discover our homes wherever you are. This convenient system allows you to visit homes in several cities in just a few clicks. These visits are generally available a few days before or after the opening of a new home.
Physical visits:
We accept physical visits only if the virtual visit of a property is not yet available, and if a tenant is already on site to show you around.
However, most of our homes are booked off-plan, as all our residences meet the same standards of quality and finish. You can easily get a feel for the property by taking a virtual tour of other similar homes nearby.
