The importance of the rental record in France
The rental application file is the key to opening the doors to your future home🔑. It allows the landlord to get to know you and typically includes various documents about you and your guarantor.
Whether a friend or an organization, the guarantor provides not only financial security but also a sense of trust. It's important to note that the guarantor must reside in France.
Don't have a guarantor? No worries! Whether you're a student or a young worker, Studapart can act as a guarantor for you through the Guaranteed Profile✅. Learn more about the Guaranteed Profile here
