What is the "mobility" lease?
The mobility lease is a rental contract for students or people with professional mobility. The lessor can not demand any deposit from the tenant. They can, however, demand a guarantee, facilitated by the VISALE rental guarantee mechanism (VISA for housing and employment). In the event of cohabitation, the landlord cannot impose joint liability between the co-tenants or their deposits.
