Commercial leases for auto-entrepreneurs
A commercial lease is suitable for a self-employed entrepreneur running a commercial, industrial or craft business. It is for a minimum renewable term of 9 years. As a tenant, however, the auto-entrepreneur can terminate the contract every 3 years. The owner, on the other hand, must wait 9 years before terminating the contract. Rent reviews are governed by the regulations of the region to which you have transferred your auto-entrepreneur's head office.
As an auto-entrepreneur, you can also opt for a derogatory commercial lease or a precarious occupancy agreement. Neither of these contracts allows for renewal. Rent is often very low. The owner may, however, terminate the lease before the end of the contract. In this case, he must give reasonable notice, but must not pay an eviction indemnity.
Advantages of a professional lease
If the auto-entrepreneur has a craft or liberal activity, he or she can sign a professional lease or a "mixed" lease. The latter includes the residential lease as well as the professional lease.
In most cases, these two contracts are concluded for a minimum of 6 years. If you opt for this solution, you can terminate your contract at any time. However, you must give 6 months' notice before cancelling. The landlord, on the other hand, must wait until the end of the contract before breaking it.
