Building negligence!\u00a0If your\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>building\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0is poorly maintained, you have the right to require your landlord to do the necessary work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notify the owner<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you rent an apartment in a condominium\u00a0<\/span>building\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0, the landlord is responsible for maintaining your entire building.\u00a0Even if the owner remains responsible vis-\u00e0-vis his tenant, he cannot initiate work on his own initiative in the common areas (stairs, entrance hall, elevator, etc.) and must seek the agreement of the trustee\u00a0<\/span>.<\/span><\/a>, who will in turn address the general meeting of co-owners.\u00a0If you notice a maintenance problem in your building, you must first send a written request to your lessor, who will contact the trustee, who will then address the general meeting of co-owners.\u00a0If the lessor does not carry out the work, you can send your lessor formal notice by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep paying the rent<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even if your landlord does not carry out the work, you should not suspend payment of rent.\u00a0In addition, remitting the amount of rent to the Caisse des d\u00e9p\u00f4ts et consignations (CDC) does not protect you either.\u00a0Whatever the reason for your non-payment of rent, it is illegal and may result in the termination of your lease.\u00a0Only the impossibility of living in the premises can justify the non-payment of the rent (this is the case, for example, when there is neither a lift nor a staircase), but these cases remain exceptional.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go to High Court<\/span><\/h2>\n

If the landlord still does not carry out the work, you can go to the tribunal de grande instance and ask that your lessor be ordered to carry out the work.\u00a0This conviction may be accompanied by a penalty payment, that is to say a daily allowance that the owner will have to pay you as long as the work is not carried out.\u00a0You can also get a rent reduction.\u00a0<\/span>Finally, you can also ask your landlord to pay all court costs.<\/span><\/span>
There is also another much simpler and almost free procedure: the injunction to do.\u00a0All you have to do is go to the court office to fill out a form and they will take care of everything, including summoning the parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alert the town planning services<\/span><\/h2>\n

If the lack of maintenance of the building presents serious risks for the safety (collapse, etc.) or the health (lead, asbestos, etc.) of its inhabitants, the town planning services must be alerted.\u00a0or local social services.\u00a0They will go on site to ascertain the facts and ask the owner for an injunction to have the work carried out.\u00a0These services can also advance the cost of the work and then request reimbursement from the owner.<\/span><\/p>\n
