Property owners built before January 1, 1949 must also attach a report from the CREP (Plomb Exposure Risk) outlining the risk of lead poisoning in the building. This CREP must accompany any new or renewed lease. If neither the landlord nor the tenant has terminated the end of the contact at the expiry of the tenancy agreement, it is implicitly agreed that it will continue (usually for one or three more years). It can be formally renewed. When applying for a lease, the applicant is usually asked to present the following: The lease or lease sets the lease and lease terms and is signed between the landlord or real estate agent (on behalf of the lessor) and the tenant. Empty and standard lease forms are available from Denern. During the application process, the lessor or broker cannot legally demand: at the end of the lease and the return of the keys, the lessor/agent has a maximum of two months to repay the deposit, which deducts the money needed for repairs to the property. It is illegal to withhold the rent of the last months instead of the surety. Write and sign with the owner an inventory and status report (status) that accompanies the lease. Make a list of connections, devices and their condition and condition of the property.

For unfurnished dwellings, the amount of the refundable deposit (attention or guarantee) must not be greater than the value of the rent of one month paid in advance when signing the rental agreement. In addition, the rent for the first month must be paid simultaneously. For furnished apartments, the maximum deposit is not set by law. The DPE (Energy Performance Diagnosis) is a report describing the amount of energy in a building. It contains recommendations for improvement. The DPE should accompany any new or renewed lease for a rental period of more than four months. The report describes the presence, concentration and condition of lead on the entire surface of the building. It is the owner`s responsibility to repair all areas where lead is at risk of being extracted. The tenant is legally required to have comprehensive household insurance (premium rates depend on the size of the property).
