Student accommodation in Lausanne

Nous gérons des logements étudiants ici : ces chiffres sont ceux que nous voyons dans nos propres candidatures, pas une moyenne récupérée sur un portail. Les chambres à Écublens et Renens, près de l'EPFL, partent le plus vite ; Prilly et Malley sont moins chères et à un quart d'heure de plus.

What you need before a landlord will sign

Agencies in the canton of Vaud ask for a debt-collection extract, proof of income, and a guarantor resident in Switzerland. Two of those three are impossible to produce before you arrive, which is the real reason agency listings stay closed to you. Why applications get rejected explains the circle and how to get round it.

Your deposit is capped at three months' net rent and blocked in your own name — up to CHF 3'900 at the top of the range here. How the deposit works.

Correspondence, leases and cantonal paperwork are in French. Non-EU students in Vaud are asked to prove around CHF 21'000 for one academic year — confirm the figure with the cantonal office rather than with any website.
