When, Subsequent to a Request

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

When, subsequent to a judicial request for lease renewal or eviction compensation made by the tenant, the landlord has served a notice to rebuild the leased building offering replacement premises to the tenant, the latter cannot, for lack of response to this offer within three months, be deemed to have accepted it, since he did not have to bring the matter before the competent court, already seised of the eviction compensation claim.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for bringing legal proceedings.
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence).
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation.
