The Site allows the posting and consultation of different categories of ads:

  • Housing in exchange for services: housing offered in exchange for one or more services corresponding to a maximum of 12 hours of services per week, including weekends, such as tutoring, childcare, gardening or babysitting.
  • Intergenerational co-habitation allows a host over 60 to rent part of his or her home to a student or young worker under 30 in exchange for services and a modest financial contribution. Practice regulated by the Elan law
  • Low-cost accommodation in exchange for services: allows a host to rent a whole flat on a monthly basis at a moderate price, below the market price, and to benefit in exchange from some services rendered to be agreed with the traveller.
    This price must be indicated in the ad. Example: “I offer a room for five (5) hours of services, tutoring, per week plus a monthly rent of 300€.
  • Free accommodation without exchange of services for a few nights – Couchsurfing

Select the type of your accommodation

When travellers book your accommodation, they want to know what to expect. Choose the type of accommodation that best suits your needs and be sure to provide additional and accurate details.

Entire accommodation

Travellers have the entire accommodation at their disposal, with a private entrance and no shared space.
A whole house usually consists of a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
Be sure to specify whether you will be present in the accommodation (e.g. “The host occupies the first floor of the accommodation”).
Mobile homes, chalets, cottages are considered to be whole accommodation if they are not shared.

Private room

Travellers will have their own private room to sleep in.
Other rooms, such as the kitchen, bathroom or living room, may be shared.
Will travellers have their own bathroom? Indicate this in the description.

Intergenerational cohabitation under the Elan law

Travellers must be under 30 years of age, active or on a professionalization or apprenticeship contract.
Travellers have their own private room for sleeping.
Other rooms, such as the kitchen or living room, can be shared.
Will travellers have their own bathroom? Indicate this in the description.

The types of intergenerational housing

From a legal point of view, the rent for intergenerational housing is very flexible.
The rules of intergenerational co-housing are legally defined but both parties can choose between these three modes of operation:
-The free provision of part of the intergenerational accommodation in return for services rendered. In this case, the student does not pay any rent but undertakes to be present on certain evenings to keep the senior company and to accompany him or her in carrying out certain tasks such as cleaning or preparing meals.
-The provision of part of the intergenerational accommodation in return for a financial contribution and services rendered. The student pays a moderate rent and undertakes to provide some occasional services, but can enjoy his or her free time.
ATTENTION: Please note that the services provided do not replace the services of a home help or medical assistance.

Couchsurfing for a few nights

Travellers, visiting your country or region on a trip, are provided with free accommodation (a bed, a sofa, a meal or even a coffee).
Other rooms, such as the kitchen, bathroom or living room, can be shared.

Shared room: Beware!

Definition

The housing against services is an alternative type of rent which allows :

A landlord to put a room or a dwelling at the disposal of a third party free of charge in exchange for the performance of small services.

This formula tends to develop in large cities where the economic crisis and overpriced rents are combined.

Good to know: the services most frequently requested on Toichezmoi.com are: help with shopping, cleaning, gardening, baby-sitting, language courses or a caring presence for seniors.

The practice of housing against services can be very well supervised provided that you legally limit your relationship with your Applicant or your Host.

The owners who use the rental against services have the possibility to write a :

Au-pair contract if the value of the services rendered is equal to the amount of the rent (provided to members with a premium membership)
Furnished rental contract when the value of the services rendered is less than or equal to the amount of the rent that would be required in the case of a classic rental;
Employment contract if the value of the services rendered is higher than the amount of rent that would be required in the context of a classic rental.

Please note: in any case, and to avoid disputes, a written agreement is essential to clearly define the conditions of the rental against services. By becoming Premium, you benefit from a free au pair contract to secure your exchange.

Housing for services: content of the written agreement

In the context of a home exchange, it is recommended to establish in writing

  • The beginning and the end of the exchange of services for housing;
  • The nature of the services required by the owners;
  • The schedule and the number of hours to be done by the tenant;
  • The designation of the vacant room or studio made available to the tenant;
  • The rules for sharing the common areas and the rules of life;
  • The distribution of rental charges.

Please note: the tenant must take out a home insurance policy and the owner must provide the tenant with a certificate of accommodation against services issued by the CAF.

Conditions to be respected for a housing against services

Decent housing

Even if the tenant receives free accommodation in exchange for the performance of services, the owner has the obligation to rent :

  • Decent housing, which respects the standards of decency as defined by the decree of January 30, 2002;
  • A vacant room or studio of a minimum of 10 m²;
  • A dwelling that offers a minimum of comfort (window, heating…).

Calculation of the amount of the services and the rent

The housing for services is characterized by a free rental of an accommodation.

Nevertheless, this free rent is compensated by the obligation for the tenant to perform services.

It is therefore necessary to evaluate the :

  • Price of the rent which would have been required within the framework of a traditional hiring;
  • Number of hours of work to which this price corresponds.

Note: In practice, the maximum working time is twelve hours (12h00) of services per week, eight hours (8h00) for a student.

To calculate the value of these hours of work, the current gross hourly minimum wage should be applied.

Warning: do not exceed the number of hours indicated in the contract. These extra hours worked would be considered as undeclared work.

Convinced? Come and rent or find a room against services for a short, medium or long period on TOITCHEZMOI.
