As a tenant you are free to terminate the lease whenever you wish providing you send the owner or EIFFEL HOUSING (in case we manage the property) a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
A one month notice begins upon the date of reception, period during which your rent is due.
The owner must give you 6 months notice before lease expiration for an unfurnished apartment or 3 months for a furnished one. Termination must be notified by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt respecting the appropriate period of notice.
If none of the parties give notice, the lease is tacitly renewed under the same conditions as initially signed.
For company paid accommodations and secondary residences, please refer to the terms of the lease.
For a main residence fees comply with the ALUR regulation: 15€ tax included/sq.m. This includes 12€/sq.m for the visits, compiling the file, drafting the lease and 3€/sq.m for the inventory of fixtures upon entrance.
For a company paid accommodation, a “pied a terre” or a secondary residence, fees are 1.5 month's rent tax not included.
For a lease shorter than a year, fees are 75% of a month's rent tax not included.
The rent includes co-property charges (heating if collective, elevator, common area maintenance, caretaker service...)

- Electricity

The security deposit is of:
One month's rent (rental costs not included) for an unfurnished apartment
Two month's rent (rental costs not included) for a furnished apartment
The security deposit is cashed by the owner or the agency then refunded within the legal deadline (one or two months following exit).
The security deposit guarantees the apartment from any defects or damage and covers cleaning or repairs left undone by the tenant. It is due upon signing the lease.
If EIFFEL HOUSING is managing the apartment, we act on behalf of the owner and we are your point of contact.
If not, you will need to contact the owner directly.
The allocation of responsibilities between tenants and owners is defined by the list of rental repairs fixed by the August 1987 ministerial decree. The list is annexed to the lease.
In case the repair is owner's responsibility and providing EIFFEL HOUSING is managing the property, we will make all the necessary arrangements for the repair.
In the event of a damage (e.g. flood...) EIFFEL HOUSING or the owner should immediately be informed and you must issue a claim at your home insurance.
In case the problem is owner's responsibility and providing EIFFEL HOUSING is managing the property, we will make all the necessary arrangements to solve it.
If you are in charge of solving a problem and need help we will be glad to assist you. The flat fee is 50€ tax included and 60€/hour tax included.
