Rental types : medium-term rental vs long-term rental

As a registered tenant on MorningCroissant, you can rent a property for a few months (medium term) or a year or more (long term).

A medium term rental is mainly characterized by:

• a lease, under civil law, time-bound; 
• the fact that the property does not constitute the tenant's main residence; 

Conversely, a classic long-term rental (furnished lease under the ALUR law) is characterized by:

• a one year tacitly renewable lease; 
• the fact that the property constitutes the tenant's main residence.

TENANT FILE
The statuses eligible for rental as well as the list of documents to be provided for the tenant application differ slightly between the 2 types of rental:

• documents for medium-term rental; 
• documents for long-term rental.

HOUSEHOLD INSURANCE
For medium-term rentals, we offer household insurance to the tenant.
For long-term rentals, regulations do not allow us to do so and the tenant must therefore take out household insurance on his/her part. We have negotiated discounts for our customers with partners. NB: we are not being compensated by these partners.


TENANT COMMISSION
The tenant commission differs between the 2 types of rental because the ALUR law defines capped fees according to the surface area and cities: 12€/m2 in very tense areas; 10€/m2 in tense areas; 8€/m2 in other cities.
