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
Colette receives 40% of the first month's rent, corresponding to the listed price of your room on the platform. In the following months, Colette takes a 2% commission to cover transaction fees related to our payment provider.
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
Once the accommodation is found, you have a fee equivalent to 40% of the price of your room to pay in the first month (in addition to your first month's rent). In the following months, you will only need to pay an additional 2% fee to cover transaction costs.
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 a room listed at €500 on our site, we take a 40% commission from each side in the first month, and 2% in the subsequent months:
The host therefore receives €300 net (and €490 in the following months).
The tenant pays €700 the first month, which is €500 + 40% (and €510 in the following months, which is €500 + 2%).
