What Studapart does

Studapart is a French online rental marketplace platform founded in 2014 and headquartered in Paris (operational) and Osny (legal), operating as a subsidiary of HousingAnywhere B.V. since its acquisition. The platform connects student tenants with property owners across France and Belgium, covering 60+ French cities with 180,000+ verified listings, and serves 1.5M+ users through both direct-to-consumer access and white-label partnerships with 180+ schools, universities, and relocation agencies.

The core technology is a two-sided marketplace with real-time messaging, digital document verification, secure payment processing, and DocuSign-powered electronic contract signing. The product is complemented by an integrated ecosystem of services: Profil Garanti (tenant verification and optional rent guarantee, €249–€459), Garantie Studapart (rent guarantee for landlords), Protection Studapart (damage coverage up to €20,000), home insurance from €10/month, cancellation insurance, and Studaboost (performance-based listing visibility). AI tools are deployed for fraud prevention, predictive analytics, and automatic multilingual translation. The platform holds ORIAS registration (17007068) and ACPR supervision, enabling its insurance brokerage activity.

Studapart operates a hybrid revenue model combining marketplace transaction fees (charged to landlords on confirmed reservations, deducted from first month's rent), subscriptions (Profil Garanti, home insurance), transactional take rates (Studaboost, city-variable), and insurance commissions (via partners Allianz, Mila, and Seyna, with INSURED Services as broker). The go-to-motion is multi-channel: self-serve product-led growth for tenants, B2B channel partnerships with educational institutions, and OEM/embedded white-label solutions for relocation agencies, supported by SEO, content marketing, and referral programs.

Direct peers

• Spotahome: Spotahome is a mid-to-long-term rental marketplace for students and young professionals across Europe, offering verified listings, video tours, and online booking. Directly competes with Studapart in the French and pan-European student housing category with similar target persona and digital-first onboarding.
• HousingAnywhere: HousingAnywhere is the parent company of Studapart and operates a nearly identical student housing booking marketplace across continental Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain). Directly comparable in product, customer base, and business model, with overlapping inventory and shared personnel/data between the two brands.

Broad incumbents

• SeLoger: SeLoger is the leading French residential real estate portal with broad inventory of rentals and sales. While not student-specific, it is a broad incumbent in the same rental transaction flow and competes for landlord listings and tenant attention in France.
• Bien'ici: Bien'ici is a major French real estate search platform (a joint venture of SeLoger, LeBoncoin, and others). Comparable to Studapart as a French rental discovery and lead-generation portal, though it is broader and not student-specialized.
