Intermediate rent agreement
During the term of the agreement, you can terminate the lease only for one reason legitimate and serious. This is particularly the case when the tenant is repeatedly late to pay the rent, when he does not maintain the accommodation, or when he causes neighbourhood problems.
To terminate the lease, you can:
- Either ask the judge to cancel the lease at any time.
The competent judge shall protection litigation judge the court on which the house depends. - Either give notice (leave) to tenant for lease due date.
In the latter case, notification leave (notice) must comply with several rules:
- It must state the reason for not renewing the lease
- It must reach each of the lease holders at least 6 months before lease due date
- It must either be sent by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt or sent to him by act of bailiff, or be handed over to him or her by himself or by hand.
To avoid any possible litigation, it is advisable to use the registered mail or the bailiff's act.
