Long term lets to French people working locally

[Suandpete]

We have had our gite for 4 years and up until now everyone renting it has either been from the UK or French people just wanting to rent for a short period.  However we have suddenly begun receiving enquiries from people who are employed locally wanting to rent it for several months. 

I am aware that if the period of stay goes past October there are different regulations - we cannot evict people during the winter etc.  However, can anyone point me in the direction of some standard French terms and conditions for letting furnished property for a period of several months?

Isn't it important to ensure that the potential occupiers will not be using the property as their main residence?

My main concern would be the compulsory checks:

Les

documents à annexer au bail

Un

dossier de diagnostic technique

Il comprend :

• le
  diagnostic de performance énergétique (à
  compter du 1.7.07) ;
• le
  constat de risque d'exposition au plomb (à compter du 12.8.08)
  ;
• un
  état des risques, dans les zones couvertes par un plan
  de prévention des risques technologiques ou naturels et
  dans les zones de sismicité (renseignements auprès
  de l'ADIL).

Why isn't this in the long term lets section?

Why isn't this in the long term lets section?

Presumably because its about renting out a Gite, and I think the owner may not want to rent it out for a long-term.

I have moved it, but to be honest its a bit debatable - no doubt some bright spark will complain its not long enough to go in long term lets.........[Www][Www]

    Medium term!    We can't do long term cos we have bookings from next March onwards.  However as far as we have been concerned up until now 3 or 4 months was long term!  I do realise that it isn't - however it is very different to the way we normally let the gite - hence the enquiry.

In that case be especially careful not to allow anyone move in as their main residence.

    We have been thinking this over extremely seriously - and given that we already have a booking for next March (ie during the period when people can't be evicted) we have decided that we won't do any lets for people working - just carry on with the way we have been doing it up until now: holidays, house hunting etc.

Many thanks for your help.
