Frequently asked questions

I work remotely: can I rent on a mobility lease?

Only if you are in Marseille for a temporary assignment or a transfer, certified by your employer. Working remotely is not in itself a valid reason.

My employer pays the rent: is that possible?

Yes. The lease is in the employee’s name, and the employee provides the supporting document. The employer can pay the rent by bank transfer.

Can I extend my stay?

Once only, by amendment, and without exceeding 10 months in total. The supporting document must cover the new period.

Can I leave before the end?

Yes, at any time, with one month’s notice.

Is a security deposit required?

No, the law prohibits it for a mobility lease. A Visale guarantee remains possible if you wish.

When must I provide the supporting document?

With your lease request, before signing. It must be valid on the lease start date.

No. Supporting documents must be provided in French.

What language is the lease in?
