Thanks, that was amazing instant response..I will follow up a few links there.. re the spousal rights mentioned.. it does not apply to UK (as below)Embassies and immigration workers have various responses (if any) to the issue.. I think I must have seenearlier here the plan to go, get a carte de sejour and put my wife onit.. but then the Ambassade (in Wellington, NZ ) says get a long stayvisa.. so hopefully they are wrong. This would not allow her to workanyway. I will be working as a buyer's advocate for property and also helping with renovation plans etc. pour les etrangeres..For UK i think she has to pay 515 pounds and get a spouse visa.. stay3 years for UK citizenship.. so perhaps the regs in France are not aseasy as the carte sejour idea.

Bonjour mes amis.I searched but info. may be outdated here.What is the position for a UK citizen with UK passport, a wife with an NZ passport... vis-a-vis being legally able to work? We are coming to France as from December.. environ Bordeaux..... I believe I personally have no problem.. but the situation for my wife is the real question.

Wait a minute.. is this a tanker-load being offered?
In that case, I would advise caution.
But I am sure this forum would allow a link to some of your online music and or videos, n'est pas?
What sort of music do you play?
Me, myself, am a great fan of Alain Stivel... L"Harpe Celtique.

Liberte, egalite, fraternite.. OK? Wot else is there?
As long as you do these enly wence, the petrol is not a prerequisite to your engagemnet.. viz.. RSL might take you on his donkey.. & you were going there anyway, and as long as you do not play anything too loud to disturb a close friend of a tax inspector and/or make a CD for sale later, or by Cliff or Max Bygraves.... you should be OK. ;o)

Sorry, Tresco, not meaning to confuse.
Thanks for reading...what I am trying to say..
Noting in a quick survey of this section of the forum, owners' concerns over rights and protections accorded by French law to tenants..
(and being about to become a tenant myself, unless I camp, most uncomfortably, in my about to be acquired ruin)
Primarily, I was looking at a means to assuage any nervous of landlords and prospective landlords, by establishing a possible mutually beneficial "arrangement" that should.. for example, an occupant have a nervous breakdown and become "the occupier from HELL".... (not me , of course!) ....
the occupancy might be judged to be an "employee/employer" relationship.. eg concierge etc.. rather than a tenancy.
In my case ..I think only if I was able to render services over the value of the occupancy.. then it might work.
Not a loophole in the law... maybe just another loi that might apply and would take precidence!
Where are the avocats when you need one? ;o)

I have yet to read the entire Forum!
But I note concerns re tenants.
I am looking for a 12 month position. Note the phraseology.
I understand owners' concerns re tenancy.. as I have been owner of several rental properties in Ecosse, NZ etc. and am still letting.
I will be buying again in France, a ruin to restore.. encore.
I was trying to see the owner in the role of employer which might over-ride any legal rights of a "tenant"
e.g.
I propose that I might be engaged for various services .. from measure-up, plans and design consultancy to videoing or photographing to care-taking..I agree to allow deductions from my (very reasonable) fees (which are paid in arrears, as is usual with such) for owners costs during my occupancy to include rates, insurance, etc., ..but no , I think (in the event of a breakdown..) le juge would say it is still a tenancy as a consideration is being paid in kind. Tant pis!
As usual, the best security will possibly be using an agent or third party, viewing good references, obtaining a large bond and acting, as soon as the law allows, should the rent not be paid when due.

I am looking for a long term rental cental, Perigord or southwards. Trained as an architect with 25 years experience in rehab., I can do a measure up and advise on retro-fitting for sustainability if needed.
I will be back in France by May, looking to buy and restore a ruin (again!)

I had a look at French Prop News but could not see any online ads. I am looking to place a few ads online.
Where would you look?
I am moving back to France.. Perigord or South and want to rent and/or house-mind for up to a year.. 2 x 6 months..until I buy and renovate..
Although I speak French, I think targeting UK owners is best as I trained as an architect in UK, with many years experience in residential refurbishment and property.
Any help much appreciated.
Non eu spouse (wife) & UK citizen...... update anyone?
in French Legal Issues

I
have some experience of this as my wife is Ukrainian. We spent the lasttwo years queuing up for Shengen visa's to visit our holiday home inFrance and other EU holidays. Not once did any of the embassies thinkto mention we did not need a Schengen Visa. Then by chance we heardabout EU legislation that came into force in 2004 allowing freemovement within the EU (no exeptions) for sposes of EU nationals andtheir family.I suggest if anyone is having problems with travel you download a copy of the legislation here - http://www.europa.eu/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/l33152.htm,
copies are also available in French, German etc etc. We printed a copyin each language and had them ring bound into a folder at the localstationers.The first time we arrived in Limoges airport with an expired
Schengen Visa we were pulled to one side, out came the folder, Frenchpage presented to the Douane who stood scratching their heads and wewere duly waived on our way.We have since been all over the EU andnever more of a hold up than this.Incidentally another point you should be aware of is that you/your
spouse do not have to queue in the non Eu passport holders channel atimmigration in any EU country any more - you can go straight to the EUchannel - where immigration all seem to know about European Parliament and Council Directive 2004/38/EC of 29 April 2004, where as immigration in the NON EU channel seem to have never heard of it.
