The professional lease is reserved for all those engaged in non-commercial activities such as law specialists. It has a minimum duration of six years and is often written. In addition, it contains information on the identity of the parties to the contract (the lessee and lessor), the apportionment of expenses, the obligations of both parties, the description of the property and the amount of rent.
Professional lease: the best choice for renting a business lease
As mentioned above, the professional lease is dedicated to all those who conduct a liberal activity. The advantage of this type of contract is that each party can terminate the contract at any time without a relevant reason. However, the French law specifies that it will be necessary to inform the other party at least six months in advance. Otherwise, the termination will not be valid and the contract will be renewed for six years. As regards the amount of rent, the parties are free to fix the amount, this is not regulated. In addition, they also have the opportunity to review or revise the rent at any time.
Alternatives to a professional lease
Once again, the commercial lease is reserved for traders and all those wishing to carry out an agricultural activity. However, if the owner finds no inconvenience or if he agrees, all those who are looking for a professional office can sign this type of contract. The commercial lease is the most advantageous. The contract is signed for nine years and the tenant is also given six months' notice of departure. In addition, several elements can be dealt with in this contract. Let us not forget also that the tenant and the lessor can also fix the amount of rent. Moreover, at the end of this term, the lease must normally be automatically renewed for the same period mentioned above. Otherwise, the lessor is required to pay a eviction allowance to the lessee.
Short-term lease
In addition to the professional lease, the short term lease is also an alternative to renting a professional office. But unlike the previous one, the maximum lease term of a short-term lease is two years. It is therefore intended for all workers in the installation phase. Of course, they will be able to enter into a professional or commercial lease if their activities are as they wish.
It should also be noted that both parties to the contract cannot renew this type of lease at the end of the specified number of years. Moreover, French law does not allow it. If at the end of the 2 two years, the tenant still wishes to continue his activities in the property of the owner, he will have to sign a commercial lease. In addition, short-term lease rents are not regulated. The two parties to the contract can thus freely fix the amount and revise them as they wish.
