For letting a furnished home in France for one to ten months to someone in training, higher education, an apprenticeship, an internship, civic service, a job transfer or a temporary assignment (art. 25-12 of the French law of 6 July 1989). The French bail mobilité carries its compulsory statements: the name of the lease and the reason, without which it becomes an ordinary furnished lease, and the term and the ban on a deposit. Not renewable, one month's notice for the tenant, a flat sum for charges. Signed by each party.

Common questions
- Who may sign a French bail mobilité?
- A tenant who, on the start date, is in vocational training, higher education, an apprenticeship, an internship, civic service, a job transfer or a temporary assignment (art. 25-12 of the French law of 6 July 1989). The lease states the reason; if it is missing, or the words bail mobilité are missing, the contract becomes an ordinary one-year furnished lease. Keep a copy of the supporting document.
- May the landlord ask for a deposit under a bail mobilité?
- No: the law forbids it, and the lease has to say so. The landlord may instead ask for a guarantee, in particular Visale from the French body Action Logement, free for the tenant and applied for online before signing. A person who stands as guarantor signs a separate guarantee deed and writes the statement of the commitment in his or her own words.
- What happens when a French mobility lease ends?
- It ends on the date set, with no notice and no renewal. It may be extended once, by an amendment, if the total does not exceed ten months. To stay longer, landlord and tenant sign a new lease, which will then be an ordinary one-year furnished lease. The check-out inventory of condition and of furniture is done as for any furnished home.
