Document overseen by a lawyer
Lease agreement in Luxembourg
The firm drafts and secures your Luxembourg lease, residential or commercial, compliant with the law and protective of your interests.
Legal content reviewed by Maître Cora Maglo, Avocate à la Cour, Liste I du Barreau de Luxembourg depuis 2009.
A well-drafted lease prevents most disputes: rent, charges, deposit, inventory of fixtures, term and termination conditions are all clearly set out.
Cerno is a law firm admitted to the Luxembourg Bar; its digital tools only simplify information gathering, qualification of the matter and tracking of requests, never replacing the lawyer’s advice. The firm adapts the lease to your situation and to the applicable rules.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does a residential lease have a minimum term?
Residential leases are governed by Luxembourg law, which lays down rules protecting the tenant. The firm advises you on the applicable terms and conditions.
How much can the rent deposit be?
For residential lettings the deposit is capped by law. The firm ensures it is compliant.
Does a commercial lease follow the same rules?
No. A commercial lease follows a different, more contractual logic. The firm adapts the drafting accordingly.

Testimonials
What our clients say
Had a consultation with Me Cora Maglo about my Luxembourg Blue Card application. She explained everything clearly: the process, timeline and documents I need, and helped me with my wife’s family reunification too. Honest and practical advice. I felt confident after talking to her.Farshid Pourlatifi
J’ai beaucoup apprécié le service de Maître Maglo : son sérieux, sa sympathie, son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité. Toujours répondu rapidement et clairement, avec des conseils pragmatiques, sans pousser à des procédures longues et coûteuses lorsqu’elles ne sont pas justifiées.Nathan Wirtzfeld
Super assistance and great support! Highly recommend. All my questions were answered, Cora and her team kept me updated all the time. I will definitely reach out to them next time for my residency.Tatiana
