The admin fee is a one-time payment you have to execute at the booking. It gathers three main aspects :
– Administrative work linked to the booking and leasing.
– Maintenance work that is normally dependent on a classical long-term tenant.
– Management work linked to the resolution of accommodation-related problems.
Note that this does not include repairs or work due to an improper use of the installations. Moreover, if you stay more than one year, the admin fee will be renewable but lower.
About your stay
Yes it is possible upon request, depending on the rooms’ availability. A fee of 20€ per extra night will be asked.
We always try our best to ensure a diversity in terms of gender and nationalities within our accommodation. Moreover, as our goal is to create a good cohesion among housemates who have the same lifestyle, we limit the rent of our rooms to people aged from 18 to 25 years old.
The answer is yes, but only under few conditions :
• You will need the approval of your roommates
• The period of stay cannot exceed one week
• You will have to coordinate with your roommates as the houses are not adapted to welcome a lot of different guests from different roommates at the same time.
We love pets (we do!) but in order to respect each roommates’ affinities and possible intolerances/allergies, we do not allow pets inside our accommodations.
General information
During the academic year (5, 10 or 12 months contracts), the security deposit equals 500€. An amount of 250€ will be asked to tenants who stay one month or less during summer.
It is paid back within two weeks after the general check-out of the accommodation if everything is ok with the room and common areas (that is, if they are in the same conditions as in the check-in date). If they’re not (that is, if something is damaged or missing), part or the totality of the deposit will not be refunded.
An additional amount for the energy bills adjustment could also be added or withdrawn from your deposit. It corresponds to the difference between the provisions for charges paid and the actual energy consumption costs over the duration of the contract.
Note that, given the difficulties to organize common cleaning between the roommates due to the different departure dates, 25€ will automatically be kept on each roommates security deposit in order to cover the expenses of the in depth cleaning of the common areas. If your personal room is not perfectly clean at the checkout, an additional 25€ will be kept as well.
A home insurance is already included in your rent. If you want to contract additional personal insurances, it is up to you.
An amount of 70€ for the bills (water, electricity and heating) is included in the rent. At the end of the contract, an adjustment is made. The difference between the provision paid and the actual energy costs over the duration of the contract is calculated. An certain amount could then be withdrawn from or added to your deposit refund.
On each house’s page, you could find the monthly rent of each type of room under the tab “Price table”. Here is what is included in the rent:
- The furnished common areas and your room
- Domestic appliances and crockery
- A provision of 70€ for the energy and water bills
- WiFi and TV channels
- Amazon Prime account
- Access to a washing machine
Two things that are not provided are bed sheets and bath towels.
Note that, given the difficulties to organize common cleaning between the roommates due to the different departure dates, 25€ will automatically be kept on each roommates security deposit in order to cover the expenses of the in depth cleaning of the common areas. If your personal room is not perfectly clean at the checkout, an additional 25€ will be kept as well.
The regular periods of rent during the academic year are 5 months, 10 months or 12 months. Note that short term periods (5 and 10 months) are only available for international and exchange students.
However, during summer, it is possible to rent a room for shorter periods (e.g. 2 weeks, 1 month, etc.)
Yes, of course! However, in order to keep a good international mix within our accommodations, only a limited amount of rooms will be offered to local students.
Yes, but only during the summer period and if a room with private bathroom is available. Moreover, an additional fee of 150€ will be added to the regular monthly rent.
The Eras’must housing concept is based on the multiculturalism and the diversity of the accommodations’ residents. One of our goal is managing to mix students with different nationalities and languages in order to create real international families. With the aim to stick to that concept and guarantee as much heterogeneity as possible, we do not take groups of friends among one same house or flat.
