In case of sale during the lease, which returns the deposit to the tenant?

When the rented property has been sold during the lease, it is up to the original lessor to return the deposit to the tenant. This is recalled by the Court of Cassation on June 28, 2018.

At the end of the commercial lease, the lessee asked the landlord who had acquired the rented premises during the lease, to return the security deposit paid upon signing the lease. The Court of Appeal had granted this request.

But the stop is broken. For the Court of Cassation, in the event of sale of the rented premises, the restitution of the deposit of guarantee falls to the original lessor. It is not transmitted to the buyer. Thus, the tenant can not demand from the latter the refund of the security deposit that he had paid to the initial lessor.

Main tenant une loupe avec une punaise de lit en direction d'un lit

Since the 1990s, there has been a worldwide resurgence of bed bug infestations. Hotel rooms, youth hostels, mountain lodges, collective housing, special habitats, shelters, retirement homes, prisons, hospitals, night trains, cruise ships … and no big city seems to be spared.

Bedbugs feed at night with human blood. They are attracted by the vibrations, the heat, the smells and the carbon dioxide released by the individuals. They are found mostly in bedrooms (mattresses, box springs and bed frames) but they also live in other dark and quiet places (sofas, cracks in walls and floors, backs of paintings, curtains). They can also invest the washing machine if they have been brought in with contaminated linen and if the washing is always done with warm water.

How to get rid of it?

if contamination occurred during a trip, place your baggage on a hard surface away from areas where bedbugs might nest; wash at least 60o your clothes immediately. Also wash the bag at the same temperature; put the non-washable items in the dryer and cycle for at least 30 minutes at the highest possible temperature; where possible, put the objects in the freezer at -20o minimum for 48 hours; do not dispose of infested furniture (mattresses, chair, etc.) without being treated, as they may contaminate others; put the end of your vacuum cleaner on your mattress, bed and surrounding objects (bedside table, curtains, books, etc.). Pack the bag tightly and throw it in an outdoor bin, then clean your vacuum cleaner; to treat nooks and upholstery, use 120o steam cleaning which destroys insects; seal cracks and crevices on walls, behind skirting boards and wooden bed frames; remove or re-glue the peeling wallpaper; if necessary, reattach the switch plates.

Do not hesitate to contact a specialist in pest control or hygiene services at your town hall.

Warning :

Avoid improvising a chemical treatment that could disperse bedbugs, aggravate the problem and promote the appearance of resistance of the parasites to treatment.

How to identify them?

These insects are visible to the naked eye, they measure 4 to 7 mm in adulthood. Their bodies are flat, oval in shape (like an apple seed) and brown in color (reddish after a meal). They are wingless and do not jump but move very fast.

How to detect the infestation?

The contamination is mainly observed by the presence:

skin lesions due to pitting, in the form of raised red spots of 5 mm to 2 cm with a hemorrhagic red spot or a vesicle of clear fluid in the center. They are responsible for more itching in the morning than in the evening. They are generally located on the parts of the body discovered during the night: arms, legs, back, neck; small black spots of 1 to 3 mm on the sheets, the mattress, the box spring and / or the walls of the room corresponding to the droppings of insects; streaks of blood on the sheets following the crushing of the bedbugs during the sleep of the person.

What to do in case of bites?

Bed bugs do not present any risk of transmission of infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc.). The affected person can wash normally but must avoid scratching. The bites can disappear spontaneously after 10 days. However, they sometimes cause dermatological or allergic disorders requiring a medical consultation.

Reinforced support for family pensions

MIL OSI Translation. French Polynesian to English –

Source: Government of French Polynesia

The Assembly of French Polynesia adopted, at its meeting last Friday, the country's law modifying the aid scheme for family pensions.

The new provisions provide for a doubling of the ceiling amount granted per program:

Up to 10,000,000 Fcfp for a creation program instead of 5,000,000 Fcfp; Up to 7,000,000 Fcfp for an extension or renovation program instead of 3,500,000 Fcfp; Up to 5,000,000 Fcfp for other development programs instead of 2,500,000 Fcfp.

The country's law also removes the advisory board that reviews and renders prior notice of aid applications. This commission, which met only three times in five years, unnecessarily lengthens and delays the procedure and the granting of aid. In addition, it provides for the possibility for the aid recipient to start the implementation of his development program upon receipt of the application receipt.

In addition, the Minister of Tourism, Nicole Bouteau, proposed an amendment to further support the non-Tahiti islands to reduce the additional costs associated with the installation or development of a family pension on the islands. The maximum intervention rate was therefore set at 50% of the investment amount for the island of Tahiti and at 60% for the other islands. During the examination of the country's bill, the Tourism Committee pointed out that pensions in the non-Tahiti Islands should be eligible for greater support because of their remoteness.

Finally, it has been proposed that additional support be provided for investment projects that comply with government guidelines, particularly in the area of ​​the environment and accessibility for persons with reduced mobility (PRM).

The debates enabled the Minister of Tourism to recall the objectives pursued by the country, which are to constantly upgrade and improve quality, lighten and simplify administrative procedures and increase investment support for boarding houses.

The increase in the country's financial support is intended to broaden and improve the offer of tourist accommodation, particularly in remote archipelagos, as demand grows with the arrival of new airlines, the creation of family today assuming a minimum investment of about 20 million Fcfp.

The country's support also covers training needs identified by professionals in the areas of management, accounting, security (first aid) and communication (marketing through the use of social networks).

It is also a specific campaign, "Stay at a Tahitian Guesthouse" deployed by Tahiti Tourism in the Anglo-Saxon markets, who know little about this type of accommodation This promotion on the Anglo-Saxon markets goes hand in hand with the development of the Airline service from San Francisco, with French Bee and United Airlines.

The 57 representatives of the Assembly of French Polynesia unanimously approved the proposed amendments, congratulating the government for the support provided to the family pensions.
