Gite Owners - any experience w evicting long term tenants?
Hi! I'd be grateful to hear about some tips/issues related to evictions. My tenants are in breach of contract for not paying all of their rent. The contract is a basic short term furnished English contract........

I know nothing about this at all except that, if you're going to do it, you need to get on with it as I believe that in France there is a certain time of year (deepest winter, I think) when you are not allowed to evict tenants even if they are in breach of their contract.
I would think the best thing you can do is contact a solicitor pdq, to be honest.

Effectively, you have no contract ?marierose wrote:Hi! I'd be grateful to hear about some tips/issues related to evictions. My tenants are in breach of contract for not paying all of their rent. The contract is a basic short term furnished English contract........

Hi Marierose,marierose wrote:Yikes! How can I get these people out of my house?
I'm sorry to say but Peter & Blackduff are correct,your English contract carries no weight here, the legistlation regarding the rental of property,long or short term are totally different to the UK.
I'd seek some legal advice in France first ...
Good Luck !

Just for the record...
- Are your tenants British Citizens or other NON-French (EU?) or French nationality?
- Are they officially registered in France as permanent residents and if not what is THEIR status as to French residency?
(Very topical subject, these days!!!)
Could perhaps make a difference to the way the law would treat your case??

tenant evictions
1st November - 15th March are the Winter dates when one can not be evicted from a property. They probably know the dates if they are that 'sort'. You have some time yet. Monsans

Contract
What does your contract say about giving them notice? I would try and issue notice according to what was agreed at the outset. You could also try Graham Platt of Heslop and Platt Engish solicitor French avocat based in UK on 44 0113931930 0r www.heslop-platt.co.uk.
I too use an English contract for short term lets but a French contract for Long term. I don't think the eviction issue is an issue with a shorterm let but the Avocat will advise.

Thank You!
Many Thanks to all for your helpful replies, PMs and information. I can't wait to get some advice from the legal contacts suggested and for all to become much clearer next week.
Great to know the dates for the winter ban on evictions!
This forum is a huge help.
