Tenant rights in France

[Deleted User] · 6 March 2017 at 2:50PM

Irrespective of the legalities it will be very unconfortable living with someone who doesnt want you there. Is the LL worried you aren't contributing to electric, food etc or you are messy.

If everything was agreed beforehand something has changed, were you told a couple of days and now it is longer ?

It doesnt seem right tbh based on what you have said.

Perhaps look for a room locally to be near your friend

Oh for goodness sake! Use some common sense, and civility.

I have no idea what the law is regarding this in France, but if you're a guest in someone's house you respect their wishes. The house owner/landlord, who lives there, wants you to leave. So leave.

By staying, at best you will destroy the relationship between the landlord and your friend. At worst your friend will end up being kicked out. If not now, then whenever the French law allows.

If you want to stay on holiday, find a local B&B. If not, come home.

I believe the apt term is....

Grow up.

OP wants a free lunch, in this case free accommodation, while not paying bills and other taxes etc which the others do.

OP how long have you been staying?

The law in France adheres to what is written in the 'règlement de colocation' that your friend would have signed up to. It is highly likely that it says something about visitors not staying for more than X nights. This will hold in court.

LL agreed after a chat, that this was all agreed upon and fine. Thank you to anyone with legit adult answers.
As for the rest, you sound like angry LL's at best. At worst typical internet fodder. What op "wanted" was what was agreed upon before arrangements were made. You indeed were not "reading this right" and the term "grow up" was well chosen, but better set to proper use self administered as you flapped on in your typically weak ad hom in your near total contextual/content ignorance bar what was necessary to answer the legality of the issue.
OP got everything he wanted and quite a bit more. Merci lads and lasses.

Excellent, glad to hear it! (I mean it's all make believe anyway, so let's say the OP won euromillions and is now buying the LL out)

Oh dear.
Sometimes the answers on forums aren't what you wanted to hear . . .

The thread title is misleading:
'Tenant rights in France' You're not a tenant, or even a lodger, and I imagine the LL can ask you to leave at any time.

"can you cite an example?"
I did in the answer, but once again for you sweetheart
"I believe the apt term is....

Grow up."
Ad hom

"OP wants a free lunch"
Ad hom, sounds very angry LL at best with almost zero contextual and a bare minimum content understanding.

There's others, you can find them if you understand the difference between on topic and ad hom. And yes, very typical internet fodder sounding. You just have to look at the past posts of some of these accounts to know they are trying to make up for deficiencies, the source of which comes from elsewhere. It becomes angry, often from a position of ignorance, very fast.

"aren't you the OP?"
Yes! Excellent observation. You see the quotation marks over 'wanted'? I'm referring to a users post about the 'op'.

" IE why would you want to live in a situation where the LL is upset?"
These details I even left in my posts, so on this one you can only claim ignorance from failing to read/absorb the information present before you comment. All of this was agreed upon before I came to stay, and after a short chat a day afterwards, the LL, in a different mood, agreed to see it through after their whimsy.
Which was why I was checking the law as a bottom line in case it was needed, which it eventually was not.

"Sometimes the answers on forums aren't what you wanted to hear . ."
I'm fine with reading them (are you hearing voices?). I will however respond. It's actually quite enjoyable to me. Are responses to their answers not what you wanted to read?

"The thread title is misleading:

I was enquiring about a tenants rights, on the topic of non sub-let visitors. It could not be more on topic if it tried.
If I had a child and was enquiring about their personal rights and responsibilities at school, would you claim the title was misleading?
If I had a friend and was enquiring about their employment rights in their particular situation, would you claim I was misleading?
You would be wrong on both accounts, as you are in your own example, as the information I am looking for is exactly as it is presented in the topic header.
Again, your post is another example of off topic ad hom typical internet fodder nonsense.

And in terms of the LL having the right to ask me to leave at any time, you imagined wrong.

And in terms of the LL having the right to ask me to leave at any time, you imagined wrong.

If that's the case, why have you asked the question in the first place? Why not explain to us what rights you have?

Do have have some kind of written contract? Is it not a case of his house, his rules?
He may have originally agreed, but something has happened to change his mind, maybe he doesn't appreciate your attitude, for example. Perhaps he's realised the arrangement wont work. Good luck.
