The situation

The starting point of the limitation period for the claim for payment of the occupation indemnity based on Article L. 145-28 of the French Commercial Code is the day on which the tenant's right to an eviction indemnity is definitively established in principle, even if, subsequently, the landlord has exercised his right of retraction.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals.
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence).
