Benefits of using a notaire for a bail d'habitation

Can anyone who knows more than me (which is just about everyone!) tell me the benefits of doing a bail d'habitation through a notaire rather than buying one off the internet. We are getting a little fed up with our notaire who is very slow, doesn't answer e-mails etc. Our prospective tenants need the bail in order to arrange shipping of their furniture so we are all stuck in limbo. I'm wondering whether we'd be better off doing our own.

Thanks for any replies

Residential leases for unfurnished accommodation are pretty standard and straightforward; I am not sure what a notaire could add to the situation (apart from cost), since there is a lot of legislation which means that most "tweaks" to a lease that one might be tempted to try would not stand up in court. From the related thread, you have done your own advertising for and screening of the tenants, so why not go ahead on your own?

[quote user="Mackyfrance"]That's what I was wondering but everyone I speak to says 'You must go through a Notaire to be safe'.[/quote]

Let's put it this way: the agencies that I know of all use "off-the-shelf" leases.
