Upon receipt of the Housing Questionnaire, Paris Academic Rentals assigns you to lodgings from the accommodations in its housing network. Paris Academic Rentals makes a concerted effort to match your 'most preferred' housing request with the accommodations in its housing network. In cases where your housing placement varies substantially from your search criteria, Paris Academic Rentals will attempt to notify you in advance of your assignment. You are encouraged to be in direct contact with us about your preferences.

Housing assignments are generally made on a first-come, first-served basis.  You will receive confirmation of your placement no later than 30 days prior to your arrival. Paris Academic Rentals will send by E-mail a Housing Placement Notice that contains your housing assignment, the name and telephone number of your Paris landlord/landlady, the monthly rent, the security deposit, a description of the accommodations and the date by which the Housing Reservation Advance must be received in order to secure your accommodations.

All students selecting the pre-assigned housing option must pay a Housing Reservation Advance in the form of an international bank draft or traveler’s checks (in Euros) made payable to the proprietor and sent to Paris Academic Rentals by the stated deadline. The housing deposit is then applied toward the first month's rent and/or the security deposit.

If you cancel your housing reservation after the Advance is sent to Paris Academic Rentals, the Housing Reservation Advance will not be refunded unless and until a replacement tenant is found for the housing. If no replacement is found, you forfeit the Housing Reservation Advance. Failure to submit the Housing Reservation Advance by the stated deadline may result in losing your assignment.
