Calculate your APL in Nogent-sur-Oise

The APL amount in Nogent-sur-Oise 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.

Your APL application is submitted online at caf.fr or via the Mon Compte CAF mobile app. You are covered by the CAF Oise. 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.

The APL zone 3 classification is set by ministerial decree, based on local rental market pressure. Zone 3 covers the rest of France. Nogent-sur-Oise 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.

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 Nogent-sur-Oise, as everywhere in France, the landlord chooses the payment method when setting up the file with the CAF Oise.

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 Oise department may offer additional support (FSL — housing solidarity fund) for security deposits or rent arrears.
