About Us
We are an established rental accommodation company:
Cité Etudiante Internationale de St-Étienne was founded by its current managing director, Mr Joel Benhamou, in 2007. It is a privately owned rental accommodation company based in St-Etienne which, each year, welcomes many students, interns and young professionals—mainly in the 18-25 year old demographic—through its doors.
Our conditions of lease are beneficial to tenants:
Since its beginnings, Cite Etudiante Internationale de St-Etienne has set itself apart from other rental accommodation companies in the area due to its very attractive rental offers and innovative approach:
In 2007, we were among the first to offer conditions of lease of particular to tenants: asking for only one months rent as deposit, not requiring a guarantor, allowing short leases and offereing tenancy agreements which don't contain a solidarity clause, meaning tenants only pay for their room and that their rent doesn't increase if another tenant in the property decides to leave, etc.
Your satisfaction is our number one priority:
We set out to provide the best service possible, with the aim of achieving high levels of tenant satisfaction by offering quality accommodation at low prices and services which make your lives easier, like offering to pick you up at the station when you arrive.
All these factors have contributed to our success and explain why, year-on-year, more and more of you choose to rent a home with Cité étudiante internationale de St-Etienne!
