FAQ: About applying and payment

Yes. All the Cohabs houses in Paris are eligible for CAF. Find all the information and create your application on the CAF website.

To renew a contract, our members have a 2-month notice period to renew their existing lease. After that period, their room becomes available again.

You can either make a wire transfer or use direct debit payment options.

Yes. After signing the lease, you are required to pay the deposit, your first month's rent, and a one-time membership fee. The membership fee amount differs from city to city. After this is taken care of, your room is booked and you're part of the Cohabs community!

On top of the monthly rent, we ask for a 1 or 2-month deposit which we return to you once you move out.

No. After you submit an application and your preferences, you’ll gain access to the lobby where you can chat with our Community team, check room proposals, and complete your booking.

In the Lobby, you can upload the necessary documents to save time and secure your room faster. This step is mandatory for signing your lease.

During the application process, we will ask you to upload the required documents to conduct the background check. These may include but are not limited to: government ID, bank statements, employment/student status, tax returns, personal guarantors, etc.

After the reception of these documents, we will review them and respond within 24 hours.

Once approved, you will receive an agreement to sign electronically (super easy), and an online invoice to pay upfront.

After signing and payments, you will officially be a Cohabs member!

Once you have filled out and submitted an application, you will receive a link via email to access your personal Lobby.

The Lobby is your personal space to complete your booking and become a Cohabs member. You can use it to book a call with a Community member, upload documents, browse room proposals, sign a digital lease, and update your user profile.

Your room is not booked until you have gone through all the steps in the Lobby, signed a digital lease with Cohabs, and submitted your deposit.

We do our best to send you houses that are the best fit for your personality and preferences. However, these options maybe also be sent to another member so act fast.

If it's a prebooking, we can invite you for a tour before you sign your lease.

Otherwise, you cannot visit before joining the house, but thanks to our virtual tours you will be able to discover all the common spaces of the house. We have a virtual house tour with pictures and a video tour. The video will give you a very good overview of all the rooms in the house. And if you have specific questions, our Community Manager will be happy to answer them for you.

Of course! Feel free to do so in the Lobby.

The community aspect is a huge part of the Cohabs experience, and we prioritize how each and every member will fit into the house they join. With this in mind, the call helps us ensure we find you the best house for your preferences and personality, and that your time at Cohabs will be the best possible.

The application process is easy. You just have to complete the application form and book your call with our community manager. It takes a little more than 3 minutes. It is possible that you will have to wait a few days before having your call.

Then you will have the background check and virtual tour, but all that happens on your end. You can complete it while chilling comfortably on your couch, at your own pace.

We are glad that you are interested in joining our community!

The first step is to apply online to verify our room availability. If we have a room available at your desired date, you'll be able to book a quick call with our Community Manager to help you find the best fit within our network.

After arranging details about your stay (location, room type preference, etc.) we will ask you to send us the required documents in order to verify your identity and solvency. Then you can visit your house (virtually or in real life after a prebooking) and sign your lease online. After you pay the deposit, first month's rent, and the application fee, your room is officially booked!

Our coliving spaces are all-inclusive, meaning that the price you see is the price you pay. The pricing per room depends on the city you want to live in and your personal preferences. Learn more here.
