835 euros for an empty studio and 930 euros for a furnished apartment: this is the average rent for small surfaces, according to the Se loger barometer. Eff


664 euros per month, heating included, for a 15 m2 studio with two French windows opening onto a long balcony with a breathtaking view of the Pantheon! This is the rare gem that Antoine, 20, a double-degree student in political science and art history at the Sorbonne (Paris I), unearthed in June.

"It is thanks to the rent control (Editor's note: restored in Paris on July 1, 2019) that this apartment, thanks to the renewal of the lease, has gone from 790 to 664 euros monthly", specifies the young man, seasonal in insurance this summer in Saint-Cloud (Hauts-de-Seine). Son of a nurse and a building manager, this student born in Soissons (Aisne), did not hesitate for a second: “I visited at 2 pm. At 2:10 p.m., I submitted the file to the agency with all the required documents, including the parents' deposit. "

A glance at the windows of real estate agencies is enough to understand Antoine's stroke of luck. Thus in the 4th district, a "charming studio with beams and terracotta tiles" is offered at 830 euros per month but the photos show a room with a sloping ceiling whose surface area must not exceed 10 m2 Carrez law ... Very high rents which reflect the stratospheric prices at which small surfaces in the heart of Paris are negotiated, such as this 7.82 m2 service room near the Louvre (1st), "on the seventh floor without elevator and to be renovated" displayed for sale at 132,000 euros!

One month before the start of the academic year, the study just published by the real estate advertisements portal Se loger provides a barometer of rents established from the analysis of 4,107 advertisements for studios and maid's rooms for rent published in April. to June 2020. In Paris, the average rental (charges included) of these small accommodation (with a surface area of ​​around 23 m2) amounts to 835 euros for an empty property and 930 euros for a furnished apartment, ie an increase of 2% compared to the same period of 2019.

Republic and Bastille sought after areas

“Even if the Parisian market is ultra-tight, the capital remains very popular. The fact that Paris arrives in 9th place in the list of the ten cities most sought after by students (Lille, Rennes and Toulouse appearing on the first three steps of the podium), is explained by the fact that young people are not reluctant to rent in near the suburbs to pay less, ”observes Séverine Amate, spokesperson for the Se loger group.

According to this survey, the Latin Quarter (the Sorbonne, Jussieu), République, Bastille but also the 19th and 20th centuries (cheaper for accommodation) are the favorite sectors for students.

Is this a consequence of the confinement? Still, many real estate professionals are finding that future graduates go about looking for a home later this year. “Usually, June is the month for students who sign their lease in early July. This post-Covid year, a few came to see me in July. But I have the impression that the wave of requests will arrive at the end of August, ”says Fanny Lagedamont-Chandler, rental manager at Les enfants rouges (IIIe).

Between 800 and 900 euros budget for 15 m2

As for the budget, "it's in the order of 800-900 euros per month, which allows you to afford 15 or 17 m2 with a pond in the 3rd or 11th", estimates Fanny Lagedamont-Chandler. In unison with one of her colleagues from the 4th arrondissement who puts the cursor at “750-900 euros per month. Students, many of whom are from the provinces, are looking for an address that does not take them too far from their university. This is why some refuse the XIXth or XXth, considered as out of the way ”.

A good plan to benefit from more space without paying more, a shared apartment can be a satisfactory compromise. Kevin, 21, a student at ESCP (Paris Business School), is looking for “a 35-40 m2 studio or two-room apartment to share with a friend from school. At 800 euros per month per person, we can pay a rent of 1600 euros ”.
