Tenancy
Tenancy: the prefecture’s conciliation board first
A dispute with your landlord, whether over rent, a defect or a notice to quit, normally starts before the Commission préfectorale de conciliation en matière de baux à loyer, the tenancy conciliation board. Each district has its own, attached to the prefecture; the one where the property is located has jurisdiction. It tries to bring the parties to an agreement; if that fails, the case can go to court. A lawyer helps you draft the application and meet the deadlines.
