What We Do

Training That Puts You in Control of Your Rental Situation

When you receive a lease renewal notice and aren't sure what it means, or when a landlord asks you to cover a repair that may not be your responsibility, having a clear understanding of the law changes everything.

Dexvionex designs and delivers structured educational workshops on French residential rental law. Our sessions cover the full lifecycle of a tenancy, from signing the initial lease to handling end-of-tenancy disputes. Each workshop is built around real scenarios that participants actually encounter.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are these workshops designed for?
Our workshops are designed for anyone involved in a French residential rental relationship. Tenants who want to understand their rights and obligations, landlords seeking clarity on what they can and cannot require, and anyone preparing to sign a new lease or navigate an existing dispute. No prior legal knowledge is required.
Are these workshops a substitute for legal advice?
No. Our sessions are educational in nature and provide general information about how French rental law operates. They are not legal advice and do not create a client relationship. Participants who face complex or specific legal situations are encouraged to consult a qualified legal professional.
What law governs residential leases in France?
The primary legislation is the Loi du 6 juillet 1989, which establishes the framework for unfurnished residential leases. The Loi ALUR of 2014 introduced significant amendments, including rent control mechanisms in certain zones and stronger tenant protections. Furnished rentals follow a slightly different regime. Our workshops cover both contexts.
What is the Commission Départementale de Conciliation?
The CDC is a free administrative body available in each département that helps resolve rental disputes without going to court. It handles issues such as deposit disputes, rent increases, lease clause disagreements, and property maintenance conflicts. Understanding how to use it effectively is a key component of our dispute resolution workshop.
Can landlords attend the same sessions as tenants?
Yes. Our workshops present the legal framework from both perspectives. A landlord attending the lease workshop will understand what obligations they hold and what protections the law affords them. Mixed sessions often generate productive discussion, as participants recognize the other party's position more clearly.
Do you offer materials in addition to the workshops?
Yes. Each workshop comes with a set of printed and digital reference materials. These include summary sheets on key legal points, checklists for common procedures such as the état des lieux, and a glossary of frequently used legal terms. These materials are designed to remain useful long after the session ends.
