“Bail Mobilité” or the Mobility Lease is a type of rental contract that covers only a short period of time for tenancy. It's only good for a minimum of 1 month to a maximum of 10 months in total. And it’s designed for those who are only in France temporarily, be it for their studies or for work. 

This lease was created in accordance with Article 107 of the ELAN Law, promulgated on November 23, 2018. With this law and lease, the French government aims to reintroduce vacant rental properties back into the real estate market. But it's important to note, however, that “Bail Mobilité” is separate from vacation rentals in Paris (also known as AIRBNB-type rentals), which are aimed at tourists. 

The Mobility Lease covers a minimum of 1 month to a maximum of 10 months in total. It serves as a good alternative to the standard rental leases in France which cover either 9 months (for short-term rentals) or 12 months (for long-term rentals). But unlike those standard rental leases, your Mobility Lease cannot be renewed after your initial 10 months. There is still room for modification, but that's only if your initial lease was within 1 to 9 months. You can extend it until the 10th month but not beyond that. 

In the event that the tenant requests an extended stay in the property, the landlord will then have to offer a standard long-term rental lease instead. 

The mobility lease offers many advantages for professional or student tenants who do not wish to stay more than one year in their accommodation. It is also more advantageous than other types of furnished rental contract, for landlords.

1. Notice of departure
Possibility to terminate the rental contract whenever it wishes, provided that one month's notice of departure is observed.

2. End of lease
Various means are at his disposal to notify his decision to the lessor, the registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, the bailiff's act or the hand delivery against signature.

3. Subletting
Subletting is possible, provided that the tenant obtains the written agreement of the owner.

4. Security deposit
A contract without a security deposit. A1 Real Estate offers you solutions to cover damage during a rental without asking for a security deposit.

5. Warranty
The tenant has the possibility to take advantage of the Visal guarantee, applying to the unpaid (rents and charges) of his main residence. This guarantee is limited to a rent of 1,500 euros in Paris and 1,300 euros in the rest of the France, as well as thirty-six unpaid monthly payments.

6. Rent control
In Paris, the rent of a dwelling whose lease has been signed or renewed since July 1, 2019 is governed by reference rents.

These amounts vary according to the type of rental (empty or furnished), the number of rooms and the time of construction of the property.

> Some furnished dwellings are not affected by rent control because they are subject to other rules. These are furnished housing under Civil Code lease (second home or company housing), housing subject to the law of 1948, or approved by Anah (excluding intermediate rent agreements), social housing (HLM), furnished tourism and sublets are excluded. 

Note that the tenant's main residence is subject to rent control. This is not the case for a second home. 

The mobility lease offers many advantages for owners who wish to keep flexibility on their furnished accommodation. This allows the owner to use his furnished apartment between two rentals and to recover his home more easily at the end of the rental, which remains more advantageous than other types of rental contract, for landlords.

1. Flexibility
The owner keeps control of his home and can recover it more easily. More flexible than a conventional lease.

2. Registration
No need to register the rental with your town hall

3. Warranty
The owner can benefit from the Visale guarantee (free coverage of unpaid rents and rental damage of the tenant).

4. Rent control
The landlord is free to set the amount of the rent. (excluding tense areas)

> A flat rate applying to the charges must be paid to the landlord when paying the rent. The lump sum is defined, beforehand, in the mobility lease, in the same way as the amount of the rent itself. Expenses include condominium work, home insurance, housing tax and property taxes

As a real estate agency, A1 Real Estate Paris understands the need for using vacant properties in Paris and the rest of France. 

But before 2018, the law prohibited property owners from renting out their homes unless it was their primary residence. Only when the ELAN Law was enacted, which introduced the Mobility Lease, did it become legal for owners in Paris to rent out their properties for a minimum of one month. 

However, they can only rent out to those who are officially staying in Paris for a short period of time. These include graduate students, business travelers, diplomats, and the like. 

The law clearly states that “Bail Mobilité” cannot be used for tourism purposes. Those who are simply visiting Paris will have to go for vacation rentals (i.e. Airbnb).
