1. The tenant may not sublet without the express written consent of the lessor. Similarly, the tenant
may not assign their rights to this lease without the express written consent of the lessor.
2. The tenant may not make any modifications to the leased premises, such as opening walls or any
other changes, without the express written consent of the lessor. All improvements made with this
authorization, as well as all embellishments and improvements carried out during the lease term at
the lessee's expense, will remain the property of the lessor at the end of the lease, without the lessor
having to pay any compensation for this, unless otherwise agreed between the parties. However, any
movable installations authorized by the lessor at the lessee's expense will remain the property of the
lessee at the end of the lease unless both parties have agreed otherwise
3. The tenant undertakes to return the leased premises in the condition in which they were received.
To this end, a joint inventory of fixtures will be drawn up at the beginning and end of the lease.
Normal deterioration caused by use and losses and damage caused by obsolescence through no fault
of the tenant, or by force majeure, cannot be charged to the tenant. It is understood that the tenant
cannot be required to restore the leased premises to their current condition, provided that these are
alterations and improvements carried out in accordance with the conditions set out in point 5.2,
unless there has been a contrary agreement between the parties prior to the work being carried out
4. During the lease term, repairs will be the responsibility of either the tenant or the lessor, in
accordance with the rules of the Civil Code. Rental repairs or minor maintenance are the
responsibility of the tenant. The tenant is required to notify the lessor in writing of the need for any
repairs not the tenant's responsibility. If after a reasonable period of one (01) month the lessor has
not carried out the repair, the tenant will have the right to have the work carried out themselves at
the lessor's expense.

possible examination, after having notified the tenant. From the moment this lease is terminated, the

have the leased premises visited by amateurs with a view to renting them out. The owner has the
same right in the event of a sale

cannot be withheld without valid reason.
7. In the event of observed and proven fraud involving the electrical, telephone, and water

no existing installations have been fraudulently modified before a new tenant moves in.

this rental agreement. This review will take into account changes in the cost of living, property tax,
and changes in neighborhood values
6. Termination of the Agreement
[Link] the tenan
Standard notice (three months)
The tenant's decision to vacate the premises is only admissible if it is made in writing and respects
the three (3) month notice period. Failing this (without notice), the tenant will be required to pay the
landlord three (3) months' rent corresponding to the loss of earnings caused by the tenant's
departure without respecting the notice period.
Reduced notice
The reduced notice period may be one (1) month when an event beyond the tenant's control that
could not reasonably have been foreseen when the contract was concluded (e.g., assignment).
However, it is up to the tenant or the party requesting a reduction in the notice period to provide
proof. During this period, the tenant will be required to comply with their obligations until its end,
including the payment of rent.
2. By the landlord
Standard notice
Termination for sale: the lease may be terminated in the event of the sale of the building;
Notice to reside: the owner can terminate the lease if they wish to make the
accommodation their primary residence or to rent to a close relative;
Unpaid rent: non-payment of rent by the tenant;
Neighborhood disturbance;
Building restructuring;
Resumption for professional activity, etc.
Reduced notice
However, this notice may be one (1) month when the landlord justifies the urgency of the decision
taken.
Similarly, the tenant retains the right to occupy the premises for a period of three (3) months, if they
are in good standing (payment of rent and charges) if they are ordered by the landlord to vacate the
premises without the latter respecting the notice period. However, in the event of non-payment by
the tenant, the three (03) month notice to move will automatically take effect from the date of the
non-payment, regardless of the time of notification by the landlord

Appendix 1.
Information:
➢ The rent is paid in full for any move that occurs after the 30th of the month; that is, any
month started is fully due by the tenant.
➢ The move-out report takes effect from the handover of the keys after an inspection of the
premises (painting: mandatory at the time of the move and carried out by our painter to
ensure harmony, possible repairs to the installations following wear and tear caused by the
occupants)
➢ In the event of non-payment for two consecutive months, the tenant is expected to vacate
the premises at the end of the third month without notice. If the notice is given, it takes
effect from the date of the non-payment.
➢ Any key duplication is prohibited
➢ The maintenance of the house (interior and exterior) must be taken seriously by each tenant
to avoid dirt and premature wear of the installations
Important:
During occupancy or upon moving out, any repairs are made by the tenant at their own expense.
These repairs are carried out by our craftsmen (painter, plumber, electrician, glazier, etc.) at the
tenant's expense. The equipment to be replaced is identical to that initially installed. The tenant and
the craftsmen discuss purchase prices and labor. The inspection of workmanship and compliance is
confirmed by the owner of the house, especially at the time of moving out. Any non-compliant
equipment will be rejected.
We require, on the one hand, mutual respect between the tenants themselves and, on the other
hand, between the tenants and the owner. A sense of duty and responsibility is required
