Created by the Elan law, the mobility lease is a short-team lease agreement for a furnished property. It gives more the landlord flexibility and eases access to housing, particularly for students or people who move around for work. The landlord cannot demand any security deposit from the tenant.

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.
