    I expect this is another psychological experiment. Whether on us or the landlord, I am still unsure.

    I suspect it's a load of BS. But they pretty much amount to the same thing anyway!

    The student Phil one years ago was great fun...

    And in terms of the LL having the right to ask me to leave at any time, you imagined wrong.
    Really? So it was written in the reglement de colocation that any of the tenants can have 'friends' staying over for an unlimited time without any right for that person to be asked to leave during the tenancy?

    Somehow I doubt it, and without it, your friend (and you) have no rights.

    Tenants rights in France. You aren't a tenant so you don't have any. Next?

    It probably as nothing about it. I saw a forum with a French LL feeling very sorry for themselves for not having mentioned any specific limits. And the general consensus on the forum was that there was nothing they could do but get the lodger to leave.

    Le locataire est chez lui dans le logement qu'il occupe. Dès lors, certaines clauses qui limitent sa jouissance sont abusives. C'est le cas des clauses qui :
    [...]
    interdisent au locataire d'h!berger des personnes ne vivant pas habituellement avec lui

    A 'locataire' is a tenant, not a lodger. Just like in England, the law protects them differently.

    A lodger in France is still a 'locataire'.
    Just like a tenant, a lodger has to sign a 'bail' (diff is its for the room only, and with right of use for other parts as specified in an annexed 'convention')

    where are the details specific to lodgers ?

    Happy to be corrected with relevant sources

    They are a house guest though. And a p155 taking one at that.
