A potential loss averted
We're moving.
(Our neighbour was displeased.)
When?
End of June.
Have you given your notice to the landlords?
Not yet. Why?
I'm not sure but I think we're on three months' notice.
Oh dear. That would mean 1500€ lost for nothing. I checked the documents. They said three months. I phoned the agency. The person we deal with was on holiday so I left a message and emailed them.
The agency phoned back. We can give one month's notice by recorded delivery citing the fact that we are in "zone tendue".
So this morning I set down to write the letter. In France there are websites that will write the letter for you if you give them the basic information, like the date you're moving and the town you live in. The government site specified that in large towns where people come and go a lot whatever your tenancy agreement says the law specifies that you can not require more than one month's notice.
Yay! Once again France rocks!
So the letter is written and printed out and I must remember to tell our neighbour.
