Lease Lawyer

Lease law is the legal field that defines the conditions under which a real estate or movable lease contract concluded between a lessor and a lessee can take place. These contracts are governed by the articles of the Code of Obligations.

These provisions impose the following obligations on the lessor:

• provide the lessee with accommodation in good condition
  have major repairs done so that the dwelling is permanently habitable
• to ensure that the tenant can enjoy the accommodation in good conditions, in particular by eliminating any source of nuisance
• refrain from any unlawful entry into the dwelling

As far as the tenant is concerned, he is required to

• pay the rent and rental charges on the agreed dates
• ensure the routine maintenance of the dwelling
• report any defects to the Lessor immediately, so that the appropriate measures can be taken in time.
