🏠 Notice letter to leave a rented home (congé au bailleur)
To leave your rented home in France, you must notify your landlord (bailleur) by registered post with acknowledgment of receipt (LRAR), by a commissaire de justice (court officer), or by hand delivery against a signed receipt or signature. The notice period (préavis) is 3 months for an unfurnished home, reduced to 1 month in high-demand areas (zones tendues) or in certain situations (first job, job transfer, job loss, health reasons, RSA or AAH benefit, allocation of social housing, domestic violence), and 1 month for a furnished rental.
