Who is not eligible for the Garantme Guarantee?

The Garantme Guarantee is open to the vast majority of profiles: employees, self-employed people, students, retirees, civil servants, expats… A few situations are, however, not eligible.

Which profiles are not eligible for the Garantme Guarantee?

• temporary agency workers, including those on a permanent agency contract (CDI intérimaire);
• non-students without savings (students, however, may have no savings);
• non-students living solely on social benefits;
• legal entities (companies, associations), unless an individual is named as the tenant;
• managers or employees of a company that has ceased trading or is in insolvency proceedings;
• people subject to a wage garnishment.

None of these applies to me: am I eligible?
