Lease agreement in Luxembourg

The firm drafts and secures your Luxembourg lease, residential or commercial, compliant with the law and protective of your interests.

In short

A lease in Luxembourg sets the rent, service charges, rental deposit, inventory of fixtures, term and termination conditions. A residential lease falls under the law on residential leases, while a commercial lease is more contractual. The firm drafts either, generally within 3 to 5 working days.

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.
