What guarantees are legally mandatory for CROUS housing?

Tenant risk coverage (fire, explosion, water damage) is the legal minimum required for any tenant, including in CROUS residences.

At Assurances Étudiants by ADH, both protections are included from the Essentielle plan onwards, with no deductibles on tenant risks.

Is personal life civil liability required by CROUS?

No, personal life civil liability is not a legal requirement to enter a CROUS residence; only tenant risks are mandatory. However, it is strongly recommended and sometimes requested by educational institutions and internships. At Assurances Étudiants by ADH, it is integrated starting from the Confort plan, covering academic, extracurricular, and internship activities.

Is a full comprehensive home insurance policy mandatory in CROUS residences?
