The situation is increasingly tense for students still looking for accommodation to rent in Rouen (Seine-Maritime) for the start of the 2022-2023 school year.
Latecomers may find it difficult to find the property of their dreams since the vast majority of accommodation intended for students in the city has already been rented, indicates a professional quoted by France Bleu Normandie.
However, future tenants did not all have the opportunity to sign leases in June or July, as did those who wanted to be sure of having housing.
In question, inflation, which has lowered the purchasing power of families and sometimes increased the price of apartment rents.
Don't pay rent for nothing
The phenomenon makes it difficult for many to pay the months of summer rent for accommodation which will in fact only be occupied at the start of the academic year.
Once possible, negotiations are now complicated with owners who are also affected by inflation and who face strong demand.
