You might not yet have the right bearings: who to contact, what is the tenant&#8217;s or landlord&#8217;s responsibility, what deadlines to respect. And between classes and internships, there&#8217;s often a lack of time to deal with it. The study period is often a first rental experience, where you discover:<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; gap: 10px; margin: 0 0 18px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 14px; background: rgba(237,127,212,.05); border-left: 3px solid rgba(237,127,212,.4); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55;\">Lease rules<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 14px; background: rgba(237,127,212,.05); border-left: 3px solid rgba(237,127,212,.4); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55;\">Running costs<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 14px; background: rgba(237,127,212,.05); border-left: 3px solid rgba(237,127,212,.4); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55;\">Administrative deadlines<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 14px; background: rgba(237,127,212,.05); border-left: 3px solid rgba(237,127,212,.4); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55;\">Mandatory insurances<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 14px; background: rgba(237,127,212,.05); border-left: 3px solid rgba(237,127,212,.4); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55;\">Move-in and move-out condition reports (inventory of fixtures)<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 10px 14px; background: rgba(237,127,212,.05); border-left: 3px solid rgba(237,127,212,.4); font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55;\">Repair procedures<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 18px;\">Lack of time also plays a significant role.

It also recalls the landlord&#8217;s obligations under articles 1719 and following of the Civil Code and article 6 of the law of July 6, 1989.
