How to find a flatshare in Lille?

Find a flatshare in Lille

 

Flatshare is a type of collective housing, often adopted by students. However, there are more and more shared flats with families, elderly people or even working people.

 

The principle of flatshare is to share your accommodation with other people, to divide the costs and responsibilities. Collocations are often organized on the basis of common interests or other specific criteria (field of study, female/male, age, passion, etc.). It is a good option for someone who is looking to limit their budget without limiting their comfort, and who likes to live in a community.

In Lille, flatshare is a democratized way of life.

The Wazemmes district, affordable and dynamic

 

Wazemmes is a popular district perfectly integrated into the city of Lille, developed around the marketplace and the rue des Postes.

Bistro and bohemian life represent the modern social mix of this district. The standard of living is affordable and you will find everything you need to live at a lower cost. To eat fresh produce, head to the Halle de Wazemmes, open all week, and the famous market on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings. Its market is one of the largest in Europe.

Léon Gambetta street is known for the dynamism of its many shops, attracting both locals and tourists. This street has become a flourishing street for eco-responsible businesses. Organic, zero waste and vegan stores have found customers in this very lively district.

In addition, it is very well served by Lille public transport. With an average price of around 3700 euros per m2, the Wazemmes district is much cheaper than Old Lille for example. Today, Wazemmes has become one of the most attractive districts of Lille, even if it still suffers from a bad reputation

 

 

 

Old Lille, the historic district

 

Lille's old district, known as the Golden Triangle, is located in the north of the city and is undoubtedly the most popular area for locals.

This district became a heritage site in 1980. Its perfectly restored historic buildings bring an unequaled charm to the district. If you are a young dynamic executive, this booming district will seduce you for sure.

The district is home to the most buildings dating from before the 19th century. In particular, the Cathedral Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille, the Convent of the Minimes, the Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine and also the Porte de Gand.

The constructions of the district represent the characteristics of the architecture of Lille. We recognize the neo-Gothic style, but also Flemish. 

This particularly attractive sector is conducive to conviviality and has many advantages: structured cultural facilities, intensive arts, cultural and social life and strong commercial activities (restaurants and bars). The territory also knows how to preserve nature and enhance its site: the Plaine de la Poterne ecological garden covers 2.5 hectares and combines nature and heritage.

It is poorly served by its many pedestrian streets, but bicycles are welcome!

Old Lille retains its appeal and is particularly sought after by buyers. The prices displayed are therefore the highest prices in the city.< 

 

 

The shared tenancy contract, how does it work?

 

 

Flatshare is governed by specific rules. Within the framework of the lease contract, there are two possibilities: a single rental lease or a lease per co-tenant. Depending on the type of contract, certain rules differ:

 

 

The single lease

 

It is a classic rental lease whose rules differ according to the category of accommodation: furnished or not. Similarly, the accommodation must respect a minimum surface area (9m² or 20m3 minimum).

• All roommates must sign the lease in order to have rights to the accommodation.

• The inventory must be made and signed in the presence of all the roommates.

• The rent is paid in one go and shared amicably by the roommates.

• A solidarity clause can be integrated into the lease and implies obligations towards the others in the event of the departure of one of the roommates.

 

The lease per roommate

 

It respects the same basic rules as a classic lease, furnished or not.

• Each roommate signs a lease contract with the landlord.

• Each roommate pays their rent independently to the landlord.

• A deposit may be requested from each roommate.

• The departure of one of the roommates is simplified and does not commit him to the others.
