Installation Assistance

Finding places and discovering the surroundings

 This option aims at showing the beneficiary his new surroundings.

On these occasions, he/she will discover:

The area he/she will live in, shopkeepers and shops;
Transportation facilities (bus, metro, RER and train);
Nearby schools;
Sports clubs, associations and others.
During a lunch in a local restaurant, RELOCATION SERVICE will provide him/her with documentation and general information and will answer his/her questions.

This option can be done by car or by foot during one morning followed by the lunch with our consultant.

Inventory of fixtures and furnishings

 Inventory of fixtures is an essential document that describes the rental accommodation room by room, as well as the contents. In the interest of the tenant, the law makes this inventory compulsory at the beginning and the end of the rental period in order to avoid any litigation when the tenant leaves. The inventory of fixtures must be adjoined to the rental contract.

This option allows the beneficiary to be assisted by RELOCATION SERVICE when this document is established.

Similarly, we will assist him/her when the inventory at the end of the rental period needs to be done (the same rules apply)..

Chidren's education

During the interview, we will gain understanding of the beneficiary's needs in particular with regard to the languages spoken by the children. Based on this, we propose different suitable schools.

We will contact the chosen schools and schedule appointments on his/her behalf with the school managers.

We will accompany him/her during these appointments.

We will help him/her in the final school choice and assist him/her in the enrollment process of the children.

Also, we will advise the beneficiary concerning a suitable school insurance.

Bank

For all these activities (especially for arranging accommodations), the beneficiary must have an account at a French bank.

We are at his/her disposal to guide him/her in choosing a bank where his/her language is spoken, and to help him/her with the necessary formalities to open a bank account.

Contracts related to accomodations

a) Accommodations comprehensive insurance

On the day keys are handed over, the beneficiary must take a comprehensive insurance for the accommodations. At any time, the landlord can ask for it.

We will advise on choosing an insurance company and the type of insurance to take.
We will accompany him/her to the signing of the contracts.

b) Other contracts

The beneficiary must also subscribe a contract with EDF/GDF (Electricity and Gas of France), with the water company services of the accommodation and with the telephone company if he/she wishes a telephone contract. He/she can also ask for assistance in subscribing other services such as Internet, cable-TV or satellite-TV, security services, etc. We can wait in the name (on behalf) of the beneficiary for the intervention that will put into place the service.
