Reference decision: cc • N° 04-17.898 • 2006-02-08 • View the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your real estate law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
A lessor of commercial premises is always entitled to refuse renewal of an expired lease by paying compensation for eviction, and in such a case the notice to quit need not state reasons; a court of appeal rightly infers that a notice, although served for an erroneous reason, nonetheless remains valid provided that it was served for the end of the lease term and with an offer of compensation for eviction.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for taking legal action
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, letters)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
