Student guarantor in France: what are the conditions to get the Garantme guarantee?

Garantme acts as guarantor for students who have no guarantor in France, whatever their age, minors included. The documents required depend on age and rent.

Which students don't need proof of income?

Students under 26 whose rent is €1,500 a month or less are eligible with just:

• an identity document;
• a proof of enrolment (certificate of enrolment, student card or admission letter).

What if I am 26 or over, or my rent is above €1,500?

You are still eligible. You then need to provide proof of income or a trusted referee with sufficient resources. The rent-to-income ratio must not exceed 40%: the rent must be no more than your monthly resources divided by 2.5.

Can minor students get the Caution Garantme?

Yes, on the same conditions.

How much is guaranteed for a student?

• Student renting alone (not in a flatshare): up to €36,000 of unpaid rent, charges and costs.
• Student in a flatshare: overall cap of €90,000 per lease, covering all flatmates.

How quickly am I certified?

Garantme answers every complete application within 3 business hours.

How much does the Caution Garantme cost a student?

From 4.5% of the annual rent including charges, paid by the student. The Caution Garantme is free for the landlord (price details).
