Tenant notice simulator

Answer a few questions to estimate your notice period, end date and the steps to prepare.

✓ Calendar-month calculation✓ Tense area check✓ Personalised letter
Before you begin

This simulator applies to a tenant’s principal residence governed by the French law of 6 July 1989.

My contract does not match

This simulator cannot determine the result for other types of contract.

Step 1 of 6

Rental type

What type of home do you rent?

How can I identify an unfurnished or furnished rental?

Check your lease. Notice is generally one month for furnished rentals and three months for unfurnished rentals, unless a reduction applies.

Tenant notice and moving out

Calculate notice periods and understand moving-out rules.

How is rent prorata calculated?

Multiply the monthly amount by the number of days due, then divide by the month's actual number of days: Prorata = monthly amount × days due ÷ days in month. If notice ends on 12 October, 12 out of 31 days are due. Homellya calculates rent excluding charges and monthly charges separately.

Does returning the keys automatically end rent liability?

No. An exit inspection and early return of the keys do not necessarily end payment before notice expires. The parties may agree an earlier end, notably if a new tenant moves in with the landlord’s agreement. Record the end date, last billed day, inspection and key-return dates in writing. Service-Public

Does the calculator result have legal value?

No. The result is an estimate based on the information entered and general rules. It does not replace a review of the lease, evidence and individual circumstances, or determine the legal end of the lease or notice on its own. Seek advice from ADIL if in doubt or in case of disagreement.

Does Homellya store the information entered?

No. Answers, dates, amounts and results from public calculators are not saved in a database, placed in the page address or linked to a user account. Homellya may count anonymous statistical events, such as using or completing a calculator, without transmitting the detailed information entered.

How long is a tenant's notice period?

It depends on the lease: one month for a furnished tenancy or mobility lease; three months in principle for an unfurnished tenancy, potentially reduced to one month. The simulator uses the property's location and the tenant's circumstances.

When is notice for an unfurnished tenancy reduced to one month?

This notably includes a tense-area property, first job, professional transfer, job loss, a new job following job loss, social housing allocation, RSA or AAH benefits, or a medically certified health reason requiring a move. State the ground in the notice and provide evidence where required. Service-Public

What is a tense housing area?

It is a municipality with a significant imbalance between housing supply and demand. A tenant of an unfurnished property there may request one month's notice by stating the address and classification. The simulator checks the current regulatory reference data.

Is evidence required for reduced notice?

It depends on the ground. A transfer, social housing, RSA or AAH, and health grounds normally require suitable evidence. For a tense area, expressly request reduced notice and preferably attach proof of classification. Homellya suggests documents but does not validate them legally.

When does the notice period start?

It starts on actual delivery of registered mail, hand delivery against a receipt or signature, or service by a commissioner of justice—not when the letter is written or sent. Registered mail that is not collected may therefore fail to start notice.

How is the notice end date calculated?

It runs from date to date after receipt. Notice received on 12 September normally ends on 12 October after one month or 12 December after three months. If there is no equivalent date, it ends on the month's last day; it is not simply 30 or 90 days.

Must notice end at the end of a month?

No. It can end on any day, based on receipt and duration. Final rent and charges are then prorated for the days due.

Must the tenant pay until notice ends?

In principle, yes, even after moving or returning keys. Liability may end sooner if a replacement tenant moves in with the landlord's agreement or the parties agree in writing. Service-Public

Must the tenant state why they are leaving?

Usually not. But a tenant claiming reduced notice for an unfurnished tenancy must state the qualifying ground and provide required evidence; otherwise three months may apply.

Can the landlord refuse the tenant's notice?

The landlord cannot refuse properly served notice, but may dispute its start, reduced-notice ground or evidence, end date, or amounts due. The parties can contact ADIL or seek conciliation.

Can notice be withdrawn after it is sent?

There is no automatic right to withdraw after receipt. The tenant can ask to remain, but the landlord need not agree. Record any agreement in writing.

What is the notice for a furnished tenancy or mobility lease?

Both allow the tenant to leave at any time with one month's notice. No special ground is needed for a furnished principal residence. Notice runs from receipt. ANIL

Must a professional transfer be imposed by the employer?

Eligibility depends on whether the transfer is genuine and on the circumstances. Keep an employer document proving it. Ask ADIL about unusual cases, including employee-requested transfers.

Is changing jobs enough for one month's notice?

Not necessarily. Relevant grounds include a first job, transfer, job loss, or a new job following job loss. The exact situation must be stated and evidenced.

Do resignation or retirement qualify for reduced notice?

Neither generally qualifies on its own. Another ground may apply, such as a tense area, relevant benefits, or a health condition requiring the move.

Do pregnancy or a child's birth reduce notice?

Not automatically. Another ground may apply, such as a tense area or a medically certified health reason requiring the move.

Can notice be sent by email?

Ordinary email is not a sufficiently secure method. Prefer registered mail with acknowledgement, hand delivery against receipt or signature, or service by a commissioner of justice. Electronic registered mail must meet applicable legal conditions.

What if the landlord agrees to shorten notice?

The parties may agree an earlier end. The written agreement should state the end date, last billed day, inspection and key-return dates, and impact on rent and charges. The simulator can use that date but does not validate the agreement.

What happens in a shared tenancy?

The departing co-tenant serves their own notice; this does not necessarily end the others' lease. A joint-liability clause may continue obligations beyond departure, separately from notice. The simulator does not assess all such effects.
