The student rental market is dynamic and attractive, offering many advantages for property owners. With high demand for housing due to the mobility of young people in higher education, it provides opportunities for profitability and financial security.
Strong and stable rental demand
The number of students in France and internationally is constantly increasing, ensuring sustained demand. Each academic year creates a recurring need for housing, ensuring near-permanent occupancy of properties. The student furnished rental sector is therefore experiencing continuous growth, particularly in large cities where most higher education institutions are concentrated.
Furthermore, the rise of work-study programs and international exchanges further strengthens this trend. Rental vacancies are reduced thanks to this high-demand market, offering landlords valuable stability and financial visibility.
Flexible leases adapted to landlords
Nine-month student leases and mobility leases allow for more flexible property management, offering rental terms adapted to the needs of both students and landlords. This type of contract is particularly advantageous for student rentals, where demand is seasonal and requires high adaptability.
With each change of tenant, rents and conditions can be adjusted according to the local market, which is a significant advantage. This flexibility also allows owners to optimize profitability while ensuring continuous occupancy. Moreover, it makes it easier to adapt to changes in the real estate sector, especially in response to new regulations and rental trends.
Payment security through guarantees
Most students renting accommodation have a parental or institutional guarantor such as Garantme or Visale, offering landlords financial security. In addition, some universities and schools provide support programs to help their students find housing, further reducing the risk of unpaid rent.
Furthermore, housing benefits such as APL and ALS allow student tenants to better manage their rent, ensuring more regular payments. Compared to other types of tenants, the risk of unpaid rent is often lower, especially as students are frequently supported by their families to cover expenses.
Attractive rental profitability
Small units, highly sought after by students, allow for higher rents per square meter. High demand in large cities and near campuses ensures quick occupancy, reducing rental vacancy periods. Investing in shared accommodations can optimize profitability by multiplying rental income and attracting more potential tenants.
In addition, furnished rentals and their tax benefits offer significant advantages to landlords, notably through the non-professional furnished rental (LMNP) status or specific exemptions linked to student rentals, further enhancing the attractiveness of this type of investment.
Easy maintenance and well-maintained housing
Students, mindful of their living environment, generally take good care of their accommodation, especially as they are often subject to thorough inventory checks at the beginning and end of their lease. Frequent turnover allows landlords to carry out regular renovations and adapt the property to rental market expectations, while keeping it in good condition.
Furnished student rentals are an additional advantage, as they meet the specific needs of young tenants while allowing landlords to offer a move-in-ready property without major furnishing work. Moreover, with careful tenant selection and a security deposit, the risk of significant damage remains limited, offering landlords peace of mind.
A positive impact on the landlord’s image
Student rentals contribute to the student dynamic and housing accessibility, meeting a growing need for accommodation adapted to this age group. Landlords can participate in student housing support schemes, such as regulated rentals or partnerships with universities, thus strengthening their social commitment.
By facilitating access to housing for young people in education, landlords actively contribute to their academic and professional success. Investing in this type of rental therefore promotes an ethical and socially responsible approach while ensuring regular occupancy of the property.
