An owner has the right to recover his accommodation before the due date of the lease. Here are the reasons accepted by law.
Tenants are generally well informed of the rules if they wish to leave their accommodation. It is indeed necessary to respect a notice, the duration of which is three months when it comes to an empty rented accommodation, with exceptions (apartment condition, possible health problem, professional transfer, etc.). But the owners can also give leave to their tenant, before the end of the lease and according to very specific conditions.
Very often, the lessor wishes to recover his accommodation, because he wishes to sell it. This is a reason accepted by law, but the owner is required to inform his tenant of his intentions at least six months before the end of the lease when it comes to an empty accommodation, and three months if the property is furnished. In this case, the tenant is a priority if he wishes to buy the property, house or apartment, and can therefore exercise his right of preemption. Of course, there are reasons for the owner to terminate the lease. And these reasons are often linked to the behavior of the tenant: degradation of the property, lack of payment or insurance, sublet, use of the property for other purposes, noise, etc.
But there is another, less known reason, which allows the landlord to give leave to his tenant. The latter then has six months to leave. This is the family motif. Either the owner wants to live in the accommodation, or he intends him to his companion or his partner, his parents or his children. The identity of the future occupant and the relationship with the owner must be clearly notified to the tenant. It was the misadventure that arrived in Alice when she received just before the summer holidays a registered letter from her owner, telling her that he wanted to recover the apartment to house her son and his wife, then pregnant.
“”He told me that I was six months old to find another accommodation! I did not live it very well, especially since I was very happy in this apartment “, she says. The young woman was also faced with the difficulty in looking for accommodation in the middle of summer, when she did not plan to put money aside for a move. “”It put the pressure on me and I looked for speed, with the fear of finding myself without anything “, explains Alice. This unpleasant experience ultimately prompted him to materialize his project to become a owner a few months later, “To really feel at home”she concludes.
