12. Duration of the Tenancy of French Rental Properties

  1. 12.1. Unfurnished Lettings
    12.2. Furnished Lettings


12.2. Duration of Tenancy of Furnished Lettings in France

All tenants whose tenancy agreement commenced after January 2005 benefit from a right to a written tenancy agreement, provided it is their principal residence.

The tenant is also entitled to minimum duration of tenancy of one year, (nine months for students) provided the property is the principal residence of the tenant.

At the end of this period the tenancy is automatically renewed for another year, in the absence of other action or arrangement.

If the property is not the principal residence of the tenant, the tenancy can be for any term you both decide.
