ECLA PARIS VILLEJUIF

Siempre es bueno estar ahí cada vez que quiero relajarme con mi esposo.

Great stay good staff!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESIDENCE IF YOU DON’T WANT TO GET SCAMMED!!! YOUR RIGHTS MEAN NOTHING AT ECLA! My story is a warning to everyone planning to live here. Here’s what happened: After two months of staying at ECLA, I officially notified the residence about the termination of my lease, exactly one month in advance, as required by the contract. A few days before the planned move-out date, I encountered urgent circumstances and had to leave France early for work reasons. I informed ECLA about this in person at the reception desk, followed up with an email (which they completely ignored), and the next morning, I handed my keys to a staff member at reception. After returning the keys, I left the residence and the country. I was waiting for the return of my deposit. But what happened next was absolutely shocking… Over a month passed, and my deposit was still not returned. I decided to contact them myself. The response I received was unbelievable: they claimed that my lease was STILL ACTIVE!! The reason? Because I had left the apartment three days earlier than planned, and according to them, they “could not perform the move-out inspection.” Let me make it clear: 1. I officially notified ECLA about ending my lease one month in advance. 2. I informed them about my earlier departure both in person at the front desk and via email. 3. I handed over my keys to a staff member at reception. 4. I completely vacated the room. I fully completed all the legal steps required to end the lease. Yet, ECLA refused to acknowledge my departure and continued to charge me rent. THE MOST ABSURD PART: During all this time, I never received a single invoice for payment. Only complete silence… and then, out of nowhere, a bill. :) I’m not the only one. Many students have reported that ECLA unfairly keeps deposits and mistreats tenants. ECLA is a place where your rights mean absolutely nothing. A residence that should feel like your home quickly turns into a nightmare full of problems and stress.
