All you need to know about international guarantors for a furnished rental in Paris
Are you in Paris and looking for an apartment or flat share? Did you know that you can use a foreign guarantor for furnished rental in Paris? In this article Lodgis explains how:
What is the role of the guarantor?
Essentially, the guarantor (usually a parent, friend or relative) is a person who agrees to be responsible for the tenant’s debt if he or she fails to pay the rent.
If you are currently in permanent employment, not undergoing a trial period and earning at least 3 times the monthly rent (net salary), you will not need a guarantor to rent an apartment in Paris.
How to use a guarantor?
When you create your customer file, you can request a guarantor if you do not meet the financial requirements to rent an apartment.
The guarantor must have a monthly income at least 4 times larger than the rent of the tenant.
If you are planning a flat share, the collective income of all the guarantors must correspond to 4 times the total monthly rent.
The guarantor must submit one of the following documents for the tenant’s customer file:
- Three most recent payslips or:
- A certificate of employment (which states your monthly income)
Bank statements are NOT accepted as proof of guarantee
