WHAT WILL YOU HAVE TO PAY WHILE RENTING AN APARTMENT?

In addition to the rent, the tenant is liable for certain costs related to the use of the leased premises:

Rental charges (Decree no. 87-713 of 26/08/1987): Recoverable by the landlord, these are basically the costs for the communal facilities and the common areas used by tenant:

- lift (costs of electricity, operation, routine maintenance)

- cold water

- communal heating and hot water: (power, operation and routine maintenance, minor repairs)

- electricity for the common areas (consumables and routine maintenance)

- maintenance of the common areas and cleanliness

- outside spaces (roads, parking areas, green spaces, playgrounds, ponds): electricity, cutting back plants, weeding, tidying, watering

- hygiene and cleaning products

- mechanical ventilation and ventilation ducts (maintenance, visits other than statutory checks).

In addition, la Taxe d'enlèvement des ordures ménagères (the tax on the removal of household waste), as indicated on the annual Taxe foncière (property tax), and the Taxe communale de balayage (local authority road-sweeping tax) can be lawfully claimed by the landlord; they are added to the recoverable costs for the building.

Taxe d'habitation:
which corresponds in UK to the Council tax, in the USA to the Occupancy tax. The tenant who has been in the propertyon the 1st January is liable for the entire sum. However, in certain cases, and following an agreement between the two parties, a pro rata is requested corresponding to the length of the rental. This tax may also be payable after the rental period.

To take out a multirisk household insurance policy:
The annual cost of this policy will depend on the size and furnishings of the property. In France you are obliged to subscribe to such a policy, failing this, the lease could be terminated.

Utilities:
these are always payable by the tenant or the occupant. They may include electricity, gas, telephone, internet, cable TV and other services. Thanks to Peace of Mind Pack, CAPITALE PARTNERS can transfer these utilities to your name.

Maintenance contracts for individual boilers:
The tenant is obliged by law to take out an annual maintenance contract for a gas boiler, at his own expense.

Final cleaning: the tenant must leave the property in perfect condition. At the end of his lease, the tenant will have the opportunity of using a cleaning service provided by CAPITALE PARTNERS according to a pre-agreed fixed price deal.
