The rules on subleasing and lease assignment are specific, notably regarding notices to the landlord: always consult official sources before acting.
In what situations is it requested?
- a notice of sublease or assignment that the landlord contests;
- a dispute before the tribunal over a refusal to sublet or assign;
- proof of your efforts to find a subtenant or assignee;
- a situation where someone left the home without a formal process.
What should the declaration contain?
- the tenant's identity and the address of the dwelling;
- the dates and terms of the notice given to the landlord and their response;
- the identity of the proposed subtenant or assignee, if applicable;
- a statement of truthfulness.
How does this relate to the Tribunal administratif du logement?
If the disagreement with the landlord is brought before the Tribunal administratif du logement, a sworn declaration can serve as evidence there. That case is covered in our article on the tribunal.
