What is the Bail Mobilité?

The french ELAN law (Evolution of the Housing, Town Planning and Digital Technology) introduced by Emmanuel Macron’s government in November 2018, presents a new approach to renting. One of its main components is the Bail Mobilité (mobility lease).

​

The bail mobilité is a new type of furnished rental contract, created to respond to the specific needs of tenants looking for temporary accommodation, allowing them to access rental properties more easily. 

Who is the Bail Mobilité for?

• Graduate studies

• An internship or apprenticeship

• Professional training

• Occupational transfer

• Temporary professional assignment

• Voluntary commitment (national Civil service)

What are the key aspects of the Bail Mobilité?

This new type of furnished rental contractcomes into place alongside the two already existing types: the Main Residence contract, for 12 month rentals, renewable tacitly, or a 9 month, non-renewable version for students; and the Secondary Residence contract, which is fixed term, from one date to another.

The Bail Mobilité covers all renters in the search of accommodation for a period of 1 to 10 months. It cannot be extended past this time, however if the duration of the initial lease is between 1 and 9 months, it is possible to extend it to the full 10.
