Section actions

1Check that the mobility lease is right for you: it always covers a furnished accommodation, for 1 to 10 months. For a long term rental, opt for a classic furnished lease.
2Make sure the accommodation is actually furnished according to the law: bed, cooking, refrigerator, dishes, table, chairs, storage, lighting. If items are missing, the lessor must provide them.
3Confirm the reason for the contract: attach to the lease a proof of your temporary situation (contract, certificate). Without this, the lease is not valid as a mobility lease.
4Check the security deposit: for the mobility lease, it is capped at one month of non-charge rent. Demanding more is illegal.
5Read the contract carefully before signing: duration in months, amount of rent and expenses, condition of the accommodation (state of the property). You have at least 24 hours to review the status of the entry points.
6Anticipate your departure. The lease ends on the scheduled date, without renewal. To stay longer, you have to sign a new contract (classic lease) — extending a mobility lease over the same period is prohibited.

Section actions

Believe that the mobility lease is renewable. The ELAN law makes it non-renewable: 10 maximum months, then a new contract is required.
Accept a deposit greater than one month. It's illegal for this kind of lease.
Do not attach the proof (stage, studies, etc.): without it, the lease loses its mobility lease status.
Sign the status of the site without checking it. Any defects not noted at entry will be deducted from the deposit.
