What a Visale visa means
This document states rental guarantee conditions. It is not an entry visa or residence permit. Check its validity and rental limits and do not alter the approved document.
Common mistake
Signing before approval.
Apply before the lease
Apply, wait for approval and give the visa to the landlord. The landlord must arrange the guarantee contract in accordance with Visale rules before the lease is signed. An account or pending application is not approval.
Common mistake
Confusing the visa with immigration permission.
Understand unpaid rent
If Action Logement pays a debt to the landlord, the tenant must repay it under the agreed arrangements. Read coverage limits: Visale does not insure every expense or remove the obligation to pay rent.
Common mistake
Assuming unpaid rent will not need repayment.
