Renting/letting

FAQ Renting a property in France

Is a student’s letting seasonal?

According to a Minister’s response to the Parliament of 26th December 2003, a seasonal rental must not exceed the duration of a season i.e. three months. However, the court of appeal of Aix-en-Provence has judged that a university ‘season’ could last 10 months and excluded the lease from the law of 6th July 1989.


As a landlord, can I terminate the lease in order to occupy the property as a holiday home?
