Lease

The security deposit, a security for the lessor

When signing a lease, the tenant must generally pay the landlord a security deposit. This sum of money is used to cover any unpaid rent and repairs in the event of damage to the property. For an empty rented accommodation, the amount of the security deposit, to be mentioned in the lease, must correspond to a maximum of one month's rent (excluding charges). At the end of the lease, if the exit inventory is compliant, the lessor has a period of one month to return the amount to his tenant from the day he returns the keys. Please note that a security deposit cannot be requested for a mobility lease. (Translation by Google translate)
