Leases
Lease lawyer in Luxembourg
Whether you are a landlord or a tenant, the firm supports you on all leases in Luxembourg: drafting, unpaid rent, termination, notice, eviction and tenancy disputes.
Luxembourg lease law strictly governs the relationship between landlords and tenants, in particular for housing (Act of 21 September 2006).
The firm secures your leases upfront and defends your rights when a dispute arises.
The need
A poorly drafted lease, unpaid rent, damage, a contested notice, a blocked rental deposit: the sources of dispute are many.
The rules differ sharply between a residential lease and a commercial lease.
The risk
Badly started eviction proceedings can be delayed by several months; a non-compliant lease can be reclassified.
Failing to respect the form of notice or the time limits can lose an otherwise legitimate position.
Our role
Drafting compliant leases, serving formal notice on the tenant or landlord, and representation in the event of a dispute before the justice of the peace.
The firm tells you the appropriate procedure and its realistic timeframes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to evict a tenant who does not pay?
Evicting a non-paying tenant requires a court decision followed by a period for enforcement. The procedure generally takes several months, so acting quickly and in the proper form is decisive.
Do residential and commercial leases follow the same rules?
No. Residential and commercial leases do not follow the same rules: the residential lease is highly protective of the tenant, while the commercial lease follows a different logic. The firm adapts its strategy accordingly.
Does the firm also defend tenants?
Yes. The firm acts for both landlords and tenants.
