Question 1

Why is the deposit higher for furnished rentals?

Accepted Answer

The security deposit for furnished rental is 2 months' rent excluding charges (vs 1 month for unfurnished) because the risk of damage is greater due to furniture and equipment provided by the landlord. The tenant is responsible for all furniture and equipment listed in the inventory appended to the lease.

Question 2

Does a mobility lease have a security deposit?

Accepted Answer

No, the mobility lease (1 to 10 months, non-renewable) prohibits any security deposit request. This is an important specificity of this lease type created by the ELAN law of 2018. However, the landlord can request a guarantor (personal guarantee from a third party) or benefit from the Visale guarantee.

Question 3

What furniture must be provided in a furnished rental?

Accepted Answer

The decree of July 31, 2015 lists mandatory items: bedding with duvet or blanket, shutters or curtains in bedrooms, cooking hobs, oven or microwave, refrigerator, freezer or freezer compartment, dishes, cooking utensils, table and chairs, storage shelving, light fixtures, and cleaning equipment. Missing even one item can lead to reclassification as unfurnished rental.
