Anatole Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 A couple of questions if I may to those of you who are knowledgeable on the subject of long-term letting. First, what are the main bullet points I should be aware of (e.g. definition of a long-let, language and jurisdiction of the contract, need for an inventory) and secondly, how do I become knowledgeable myself?! Is it all just experience or is there a reliable source of information I can turn to? It seems to me that there is any amount of info on buying a property but oh so little on the legal aspects of letting, yet the stakes are high if a long-let goes wrong! Finally - how do people view long-lets in general - horror stories or useful sources of low season income? Thanks,Anatole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpprh Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 HiUnfurnished leases give very powerful rights to the tenant : if they don't pay it is very difficult to expulse them.The furnished lease is less regulated than unfurnished. If you pm me I can send you draft leases as word docs.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cox Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi PeterI'm just about to embark on leeting out my normandy cottage and would be very grateful if you would also send me your raft leases - always assuming that I get any bookings! Many thanksJohn[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Taylor Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 In general terms, long-term (over three months) letting is a minefield (and far too large a subject to explore fully here), as is furnished letting to anyone who does not have a principal residence elsewhere.If you're not confident of working your way through the plentiful information available online in French (from fnaim, unpi, snpi, seloger, lentreprise etc.) it's essential to employ an agent. Alternatively, a huissier or a notaire will give good advice and prepare contracts.Standard leases, contracts and letters are available at: http://www.directgestion.fr/immobilier-guide-pratique/baux_a_telecharger.aspandhttp://www.lentreprise.com/lettre/6.367.1.htmlJohn, your reference to 'bookings' looks as if you want to let on short-term contract (holiday lets, gites), whereas the originator of this thread was enquiring about longer-term lets, which is a totally different field.HTHJo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
