THE ARRIVAL

I get my keys!

The status report is a document drawn between the member of the UXCO Student tribe and UXCO Student. It is filled when the member of the tribe arrives and when he leaves. Edited in multiple copies and given to each party, it must be kept for the entire duration of the lease. 

The arrival status report with a new member of the UXCO Student tribe is established on the day of arrival, and not necessarily the day he signs the contract. At the arrival, the status report indicates the condition of the accommodation delivered to the member of the tribu.

At departure when the member of the UXCO Student tribe gives back the keys to UXCO Student the departure status report indicates in detail the condition of the accommodation at the end of the lease. The departure status report will allow the member of the tribe to show to UXCO Student that he took good care of the accommodation throughout the lease.

Every UXCO Student apartment is equipped with crockery. Linen is put in the apartment right before your arrival. Linen is changed for free every month.

HOUSING ASSISTANCE

APL? ALS? TGV? RTT?

For your housing assistance application you must provide the following documents:
· A photocopy of your identity card
· Proof of your student status
· Proof of your income or if you do not have any, please get a sworn statement that you have not received income from the previous year.
· Your bank details if you want to be the recipient of housing assistance.
· Your beneficiary number if you already have one.

Some tips:
Like many administrative procedures, case processing by the CAF takes time. UXCO recommends that you fill the housing assistance application as early as possible to take advantage as soon as possible.

Important! The first month rental is considered as a waiting period: housing allowance is not taken into account and therefore not paid during the first month of entry into the premises. The grant will be paid monthly at the beginning of the following month (the grant for September’s rent will be paid at beginning of October); starting from the first day of the month following the day you fit all the conditions to benefit from the grant. Example: if you move in on September 25th, you will benefit from the grant starting on October 1st (not from September 25th) and it will be paid at the beginning of November. 

All our clients are entitled to a personalized housing assistance (APL or ALS). You will find all information linked to it in the « student rental budget » tab.

You can get the Locapass allowance. The Locapass advance is an aid that allows you to finance the deposit without interests and without charge; it is a repayable loan over a period of 25 months.

The recipient of housing assistance is the Member of the UXCO Student tribe (or UXCO Student on homes under agreement only).

« cc » stands for “charges comprises”, meaning “included charges”. Those charges are different depending on the residence. They are indicated on each page of the residences.

The administration fees include the visit of the apartment and all the administrative actions (file, edition of the lease, and entry inventory status report. There are paid only once when the lease is signed.

A guarantor is a moral or physical person that commits to pay the rent and expenses of the Member of the UXCO Student tribe, if he/she is unable to meet his obligations. The guarantor needs to be economically solvent. He needs to have sufficient income to take on this responsibility. It is often expected an average monthly income of 3 times the rent.

The guarantor for the rent must be a resident in France for tax purposes. If you cannot have this kind of person as a guarantee, you can contact the manager of the concerned property whose details appear on the description page of the property, or the UXCO Student Team to find the right solution for your situation.

The rent must be paid before the 6th of every month. If the rent is not paid on the 6th, the legal department sends a first free reminder by mail. The second reminder is sent by mail on the 16th of the month and is charged 10€. The formal notice is sent on the 25th of the month by registered mail and is charged 30€.
