Léa is 19 years old. She will soon be starting a law degree in Lyon at the beginning of the school year. Her parents, who are self-employed artisans, do not meet the income requirements that landlords demand to serve as guarantors. As a result, application after application, she receives rejections.
Then Léa discovers the Visale Guarantee. She obtains it within 48 hours, free of charge. Three weeks later, she signed her lease for a furnished apartment in Lyon.
Thousands of young people in France face this same situation every fall. Finding student housing without a guarantor can seem impossible. Yet concrete solutions are available today.
This guide presents all the options available to single or international students in 2026.
