Code Civil lease and its benefits

« Code Civil » leases are signed in two distinctive cases:

• Corporate leases:
  • The lease is signed by the company, which directly pays the rent.
  • The lease is signed by the occupant, who receives allowances from his / her employer (in addition to salary package). These allowances may cover a portion or the entirety of the rent.
• Secondary residences for the tenant (the property does not constitute the tenant’s main residence).

The “Code Civil” lease is significantly more flexible than the “main residence” lease : both parties can freely agree on the lease duration, renewal conditions, notice period, and the amount of the security deposit.

“Code Civil” leases are exempt from Paris’ rent control regulations.

Eiffel Housing is an expert in “Code Civil” leases :

• 90% of our rentals are based on “Code Civil” leases : corporate leases, leases with expats or secondary residences for tenants
• 80% of our tenants are expatriates in Paris for professional reasons.

Important note: We do not sign “bail mobilité” leases. “Code civil” leases offer more flexibility and benefits to owners (e.g., requiring a security deposit). Feel free to contact us for more information.
