You will also need to provide a copy of your birth certificate translated into French. The translation can be provided by companies such as Melting Trad or Alphatrad.
Additionally, you must take out insurance for the duration of your apartment rental (covering fire, water damage, theft, etc.). Insurance companies for students (like SMERRA) offer contracts at attractive rates.
