The information and documents prohibited through the law

A lessor cannot freely determine the parts he wishes to have in order to retain his future tenant. Indeed, the law requires it to respect several obligations.

Thus, it is forbidden to ask you for information related to your belonging to a race, your religion, your state of health, your political opinions, your customs or your gender.

Then, in the event of an empty accommodation outside of HLM, he will have to ban a whole series of documents from the application files:

  • identity photograph, except that of the proof of identity;
  • social insurance card;
  • copy of bank or postal account statement;
  • certificate of proper maintenance of bank or postal account;
  • certificate of absence of current credit;
  • automatic debit authorization;
  • divorce judgment, with the exception of the paragraph beginning with the statement: "For these reasons";
  • certificate from the previous lessor indicating that you are up to date with your rents and charges;
  • certificate from the employer as soon as the employment contract and the latest pay slips can be provided;
  • wedding contract;
  • certificate of cohabitation;
  • accommodation reservation check;

- personal medical file, except in the event of a request for suitable or specific accommodation;

- extract from the criminal record;

- delivery to a blocked account of goods, bills, securities or a sum of money corresponding to more than two months of rent in principal in the absence of the deposit or the subscription of the planned autonomous guarantee in article 2321 of the Civil Code;

- more than 2 balance sheets for self-employed workers.

On this point, it is important to know that the lessor is prohibited from calling your employer directly to verify the accuracy of the documents provided or obtain other information about you.

If you are a student or looking for a job, the entire file must be put together by a guarantor, often a relative (example: your parents), who will make a written commitment for you.
