ams Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Always a difficult time for people with property rented. However all is not lost, we managed to get rid of a very difficlt tenant that had not paid many other owners stretching back to 1997. After the 15th march 2009 again a time for owners to be careful, as many tenants are in the process of being evicted and need to find another person to con. ams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Do you know if the guaranteed rental insurance that you get with agencies covers this in general? This law is very difficult to understand for people not living in France.Dee French Property Ireland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelly Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 our dodgy glaswegian couple started quoting this law; but we were reliably informed that as ours was advertised as a gite; we would get them out:they wouldn't accept the contract I gave them; so they had nothing in writing ; the women recko,ned she knew all the French laws as she had read them in a book in England: but they went after I sent them a registered letter:I'm just thankful they have gone; although we got no money; at least they aren't building up any more on the electric: they already owe us 97€ thats apart from the rent: for 5 weeks: they reduced the rent they were paying by 1/4 saying it was winter rates:then expected us to provide heating for them: : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
