The lease ends only through a notice given for serious and legitimate grounds (art. 44 and art. 45). The law limits these grounds to three cases (art. 45):
- recovery of the dwelling to house himself or to house his spouse, his ascendants, or his direct descendants of the first degree;
- the need to demolish in order to rebuild or to carry out major repairs requiring you to vacate the premises;
- late payment of rent.
The form is strict: the notice must, on pain of nullity, state the grounds, cover all of the premises, and observe a notice period of at least two months (art. 46). For a recovery, the dwelling must also have belonged to the landlord for at least eighteen months (art. 49).
Your compensation: if the notice is validated, the landlord must pay you your justified moving expenses plus compensation equal to one year's rent at the last rate paid (art. 51). And if the grounds were inaccurate or not carried out, you may claim additional compensation which cannot be less than one year's rent (art. 52).
