Bail mobilité: term, eligible tenants and how it works

Updated on July 12, 2026 · 5 min read

Created for people on the move (studies, training, assignment), the bail mobilité (mobility lease) is a flexible furnished tenancy: short term, non-renewable, and with no security deposit. It answers a specific need and should not be confused with a standard furnished lease.

A short, non-renewable term

The bail mobilité covers a furnished home for a term of one to ten months, non-renewable and not extendable. At its end, if the tenant stays, a standard furnished lease must be signed. A given tenant can sign only one bail mobilité for the same home.

A specific pool of eligible tenants

The bail mobilité is reserved for a tenant who can prove, on the start date, a situation of mobility:

higher education or an internship;
vocational training or an apprenticeship;
a temporary transfer or professional assignment;
voluntary service (service civique).

No security deposit

A key feature: the landlord cannot require a security deposit in a bail mobilité. To protect themselves, they can instead ask for a guarantor, and the VISALE guarantee covers this type of lease for eligible tenants.

Flat-rate charges

Charges are paid as a flat rate, alongside the rent and not subject to adjustment. The home must meet the same equipment requirements as a standard furnished let and be decent.
