At Colette, there are two types of commission, depending on whether you are in Paris/Ile-de-France or another city:
👨🏼🦳 On the host's side
In Paris/ Ile-de-France
We take 15% of the displayed room price.
In other cities
Colette receives 50% of the first month's rent, corresponding to the posted price of your room on the platform. You receive this amount in full in subsequent months, without any commission.
These fees include:
Selection and qualification of young profiles
Support and advice from our team during the connection with the future tenant
Support on tax and administrative issues
Provision of a rental contract & rent receipts
Payment service: strict monitoring and management of rent payment every month via our secure partner Stripe
Monthly rent paid directly via Colette
Home insurance (AXA) in case of material damage during cohabitation
Dedicated support from customer service throughout the Colette experience
Mediation role during cohabitation in case of problems
👩🏽 On the young person's side
In Paris/ Ile-de-France
We ask for an additional €38 on top of the displayed room price.
In other cities
Once you have found accommodation, you only have to pay a fee of 50% of the price of your room for the first month. You pay only your rent, with no subscription or commission, in the following months.
These fees include:
Access to our platform and thus to a wide range of housing offers available in Paris and Île-de-France
Access to reliable accommodations: we verify all accommodations
Selection of quality hosts: we extensively engage with each host to ensure they fit the Colette community
A dedicated team to help young people in their housing search
The possibility to find and book accommodation quickly and easily: no guarantor or deposit required for registration
Home insurance (AXA) that covers the young person throughout their stay with Colette
Dedicated support from customer service throughout the Colette experience
Assistance with all procedures with the CAF
Provision of a rental contract & rent receipts
Mediation role during cohabitation in case of problems
Example for Paris/ IDF :
For a room listed at €500 on our site:
We take a 15% commission per month on this rent. For a room at €500, this corresponds to €75, meaning the host receives €425 in rent per month.
The young person pays €500 + €38, which is €538.
Example for other cities:
For a room listed at €500 on our website:
We take 50% commission from each side, for the first month only: the host therefore receives €250 net (then €500 the other months) and the guest pays €750 the first month, or €500 + 50% (then €500 the following months).
Why is there a difference between the amount indicated on the contract and the amount I pay?
The amount indicated on the contract is the so-called net commission price, which is the amount received by the host."
