Rentals: no evictions until 15 March 2009

According to article L 613-3 of the code de la construction et de l’habitation, tenants in France cannot be evicted between 1 November 2008 and 15 March 2009.

The exceptions:

An eviction remains possible

  • if the occupant and his family are offered suitable alternative accommodation
  • if the the property is in such a dangerous condition that it is subject to a court order
  • if the persons

    whose expulsion was ordered entered the premises illegally (squatters)
In the rental sector, the rent is seen as unpaid when either 3 consecutive

terms are completely unpaid, or when the tenant owes

the landlord an amount equal to at least twice the gross monthly

rent and associated charges.

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.

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: :
