Reference decision: cc • N° 95-10.378 • 1998-02-13 • View the decision →
This decision provides important insight into your family and estate rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Any notice to quit served pursuant to Article 22 of the Law of 23 December 1986 must state the name or corporate name of the landlord. Accordingly, a Court of Appeal which declares valid a notice to quit given through an agent "in the name and on behalf of the owner" breaches this Article.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly observe the statutory time limits for bringing a claim
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, legal instruments, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice is always cheaper than litigation
