Can a company rent an apartment?

The answer to this question is simple: yes, of course! Indeed, many companies regularly rent temporary apartments for employees traveling for business to Lyon: for mid-term or long-term professional assignments, to participate in one of the many trade fairs in Lyon, for research, or even for a job transfer… there are many potential reasons to book a flat.

In their search for a furnished apartment for their employee (s), a company may encounter different difficulties or constraints. On the one hand, companies are often keen to offer their employees “ready-to-live-in” housing, practical for daily life, close to their workplace and to public transport, but above all modern and of high quality. On the other hand, companies may have individual needs in terms of invoicing or payment terms. These needs are linked to the functioning of their accounting or financial department.

Urban Sejour makes sure that the booking is as easy as possible for companies, including the various stages of it: finding the right self-catering apartment, booking it, the check-in, the assistance during the stay, and the tenant’s departure. Firstly, Urban Sejour will propose apartments that match the business’s search criteria, or its employee’s preferences.

Then, the agency offers a simple and fast booking process that can be adapted according to the needs of the company. Payment and billing terms can also be adapted to the business in question. Moreover, the agency Urban Sejour can provide additional documents if necessary: ​​for example, rent receipts or accommodation certificates. Finally, Urban Sejour remains at the disposal of the company and of the tenant throughout the stay.

Which contract should a company chose?

Depending on the situation, a company can sign different types of contracts. In case of a short-term or mid-term business stay of up to a maximum of 90 nights, the business may rent a temporary apartment under a seasonal rental contract. However, if the stay exceeds these 90 nights, another type of contract must be applied. in that case, there are different options. For a stay of 1 to 10 months, a mobility contract (called bail mobilite in French) may be concluded for professional reasons. Otherwise, for a mid-term or long-term stay, the company will have the possibility of concluding a secondary residence or main residence contract for its employee.

A secondary residence contract can be useful for a stay of 1 month to 12 months, in particular for a stay of 8 to 12 months, which exceeds the duration that is allowed for the mobility contract. The secondary residence contract is renewable with the agreement of the tenant, the owner and the agency Urban Sejour.
