Moissac, with 13,652 inhabitants, is a medium-sized city in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region. Classified in APL zone 3, it offers a living environment where rents (averaging €500/month) remain affordable compared to major cities. APL provides significant financial support, particularly for single individuals and young households.
The local rental market has its own characteristics, with rents that reflect the economic and demographic dynamics of the area.
Advice from our APL expert
With rents around the zone 3 average, APL remains a welcome supplement that can significantly ease your housing budget. The ratio between rent and zone 3 caps generally allows for a decent level of aid.
Moissac is not classified as a high-demand zone, which means the standard notice period is 3 months. On the other hand, rents are generally more affordable and housing supply more available, making it easier to find APL-eligible accommodation.
The local economy, whether agricultural, industrial or service-based, partly determines rent levels and therefore the importance of APL for households in the area.

APL in Moissac: answers to your questions
Everything you need to know before running your simulation
1 How much APL can I get in Moissac in 2026?
The APL amount in Moissac depends on three main factors: your actual rent (capped at €226/month for a single person in zone 3), your tax reference income from N-2 (year 2024), and your household composition. A flat-rate charge of €62/month is added to the calculation. For a scholarship student in a studio at €500/month, the aid can reach €150 to €250 depending on declared income.
2 How do I apply for APL in Tarn-et-Garonne?
Your APL application is submitted online at caf.fr or via the Mon Compte CAF mobile app. You are covered by the CAF Tarn-et-Garonne. Required documents: signed lease, ID, bank details (RIB), 2024 tax notice on 2023 income, and the landlord's rent certificate (Cerfa 10842) signed by your landlord. Processing takes 2 to 4 weeks. The first payment is made from the month following your lease start date.
3 Why is Moissac in APL zone 3?
The APL zone 3 classification is set by ministerial decree, based on local rental market pressure. Zone 3 covers the rest of France. Moissac is classified here, meaning lower rent caps (€226 for a single person) but generally more affordable rents. This zoning directly affects the rent caps used to calculate your housing aid.
4 Is APL paid directly to the landlord in Moissac?
APL can be paid either directly to the tenant's bank account, or to the landlord who deducts it from the rent (known as "third-party payment"). In social housing (HLM), payment to the landlord is almost always the default. In private housing, the landlord requests this via the rent certificate. In Moissac, as everywhere in France, the landlord chooses the payment method when setting up the file with the CAF Tarn-et-Garonne.
5 What benefits can be combined with APL in Tarn-et-Garonne?
APL can be combined with RSA, the activity bonus, family allowances, AAH (disability allowance), and student scholarships. However, it cannot be combined with ALF or ALS — the CAF automatically assigns the most advantageous aid. The Tarn-et-Garonne department may offer additional support (FSL — housing solidarity fund) for security deposits or rent arrears.
