What guarantees can be requested from the lessee?

To guarantee the respect of the lease, various methods are offered to the lessor:

• a deposit to guarantee the rent;
• a universal movable hypothec on all the property situated in the business to guarantee also the rent. If the lessee grants such a hypothec, his eventual credit could be affected;
• a bank guarantee or an irrevocable letter of credit for a determined amount;
• the intervention of a surety to guarantee, directly and unconditionally, that the lessee observes and complies with each and all of his commitments.
