Frequently asked questions
I own a property and my tenant has stopped paying rent. What should I do?
When rent goes unpaid, it is important to act quickly to protect your rights and limit the build-up of debt.
As a first step, it is advisable to contact the tenant to try to reach an amicable solution. If the arrears continue, a commissaire de justice (judicial officer) can serve a formal demand for payment invoking the lease's termination clause, where the legal conditions are met.
If the situation is not put right within the legal time limit, the matter can be brought before the judge to request, in particular, termination of the lease, payment of the sums owed and, if necessary, the tenant's eviction.
The firm can assist you throughout these steps, to defend your interests and pursue the procedure best suited to your situation.
If I win the case, can I ask the other party to cover the lawyer's fees I had to pay to defend myself?
Yes. Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure allows you to ask the judge to order the other party to reimburse all or part of the legal fees incurred for your defence.
However, this request is at the judge's discretion: the judge may grant it in full or in part, or reject it. Reimbursement is therefore not automatic, even if you win the case.
If I win the case, can I ask the other party to cover the legal costs I had to incur?
Yes. In principle, the losing party is ordered to pay the dépens, that is, the court costs, which include in particular the judicial officer's fees (demand for payment, writ of summons) and certain court-appointed expert fees.
However, this order is not automatic and depends on the circumstances of the case.
How long does an eviction procedure take?
It generally takes between one year and eighteen months.
In practice, a distinction must be made between the length of the court proceedings and the time needed to actually evict the tenant.
Obtaining a decision ordering a tenant's eviction can take several months, depending on the court's timetable and the complexity of the case.
Once judgment has been obtained, the actual eviction may take several more months, in particular because of the statutory time limits, the service of a notice to vacate the premises and, where applicable, police intervention.
The total duration therefore depends on each situation.
A lawyer can assist you at every stage to secure the procedure and anticipate the next steps, so that no time is lost.
How much does a first consultation cost?
The first consultation costs €120 including VAT.
