FACTS AND PROCEEDINGS
By private agreement dated 15 October 1985, the Consorts of LEMAIRE‐
ROSSET, through the “Cabinet CHARTRAS” SARL [LLC], leased an apartment located at 34
rue Victor Meric 92110 CLICHY on the 5th floor to Mrs. DOUADI for a period of one year
renewable by tacit agreement.
Mrs. DOUADI was then married to Mr. Bouziane MACHROUH, and both have
failed to pay the rent.
The Consorts LEMAIRE‐ROSSET did issue a payment order referring to the
resolutory clause, dated 30 October 1996 in the amount of 10,216.54 Francs representing
the back rent, in addition to the expenses from the order, which has had no effect.
“Cabinet CHATRAS” moved Mr. MACHROUH to a smaller apartment in the same
building for a primary monthly rent of 1,350 Francs pursuant to an oral lease.
No lease could be negotiated due to the back rent on the former apartment.
Mr. MACHROUH, having failed to pay his new rent payments, the consorts
LEMAIRE‐ROSSET by affidavit dated 1 August 1997, sued him before the district court of
CLICHY, to order resolution of the lease for non‐payment of rent, to order his eviction, as
well as that of any occupant on these grounds with the assistance of law enforcement, to
sentence him to pay 10,216.54 Francs and 6,346.30 Francs for rent and unpaid expenses for
each apartment rented, as well as 5,000 Francs pursuant to Article 700 of the new code of
civil procedure, to set quarterly occupational rent of 1,803.75 Francs, all immediately
enforceable.
By adversarial judgment, dated 21 October 1997, the district court of CLICHY
rendered the following decision:
‐declared termination of the lease.
‐stated that Mr. MACHROUH must leave the premises within one month of the service
of this judgment, or else, he may be evicted, as well as any occupant on these grounds, if
necessary with the assistance of law enforcement.
‐sentenced Mr. MACHROUH to pay to the Consorts LEMAIRE‐ROSSET in cash funds or
receipts in the amount of 11,412.92 Francs.
‐set the equivalent of monthly rent + charges as the amount of monthly occupational
rent as compensation for non‐receipt of rent and expenses until the actual departure from
the premises.
‐dismissed outstanding claims by both parties.
‐ordered immediate enforcement.
‐sentenced Mr. MACHROUH to pay expenses.
On 18 November 1997, Mr. MACHROUH appealed this decision.
Mr. MACHROUH having been the subject of partial legal aid of 55%, pursuant to a
decision dated 17 June 1998, does not deny having ceased paying several rent payments, in
view of his precarious financial situation and he commits, in exchange for his remaining in
the premises, to pay off the balance of his debt in regular installments, in accordance with
the terms that will be set by the Court.
Moreover, he requests dismissal of the claims by the consorts LEMAIRE‐ROSSET by
arguing that no clear and precise statement was produced enabling the precise verification
of his rental debt for the second apartment and that the second lease was entered into based
on quarterly rent.
Therefore, he requested the court to:
‐accept the appeal and declare it well‐founded.
Amending the judgment rendered.
‐stating that there are no grounds for applying the resolutory clause given the good
faith of Mr. MACHROUH and dismissing the claim by the consorts LEMAIRE‐ROSSET for
eviction.
‐granting him the longest payment delays possible to pay off his debt.
‐stating that with even the slightest failure on his part, immediate eviction may be
pursued.
‐deciding by law regarding expenses.
Mr. Louis and Bernard LEMAIRE and Mrs. Nicole ROSSET, respondents, confirmed the
judgment rendered in that it recognized the indisputable existence of the rental debt with
regard to the first lodging occupied by Mr. MACHROUH according to the lease on 15 October
1985.
Moreover, they argue that the appellant is liable for monthly rent for lease of
the second apartment as evidenced by the deadline notices produced during the
proceedings. Consequently, they are seeking reversal of the judgment rendered, in that it
sentences Mr. MACHROUH to payment of the amount of 11,412.92 Francs pursuant to the
back rent considering the error by the court basing it on quarterly and not monthly rent and
payment of the sum of 5,000 Francs pursuant to Article 700 of the new code of civil
procedure.
Therefore, he requested the court to:
‐confirm the appealed judgment, by ordering the termination of the
lease tying Mr. MACHROUH to the consorts LEMAIRE‐ROSSET to the apartment located at 34
rue Victor Meric in CLICHY on the 4th floor to the left, as well as the eviction of Mr.
MACHROUH and all occupants on these grounds,
‐confirm the judgment rendered by acknowledging the indisputable
existence of the debt pertaining to the first lodging in the amount of 9,605.42 Francs
representing unpaid quarterly rent from July and October,
‐confirm the judgment rendered by sentencing Mr. MACHROUH to pay
occupational rent in an amount equivalent to that of the rent plus expenses,
‐reverse the judgment rendered by setting the back rent from Mr.
MACHROUH at 11,412.92 Francs and thus sentencing the latter to pay this sum in cash funds
or receipts,
Ruling again,
‐finding that Mr. MACHROUH is liable since he entered the premises for
a monthly rent of 1,350 Francs in principal, i.e. 1,803.75 Francs including tax,
‐finding that the indisputable deadline notices until the rendering of the
appealed judgment bear notice of payment of monthly rent,
Consequently,
‐sentencing Mr. MACHROUH to pay the amount of 39,168.62 Francs in
back rent running from January 1997 to June 1999,
‐sentencing Mr. MACHROUH to payment of 5,000 Francs pursuant to
Article 700 of the new code of civil procedure code,
‐ sentencing the defendants to pay all the expenses of these
proceedings to the benefit of the GAS SCP, in accordance with provisions of Article 699 of the
new code of civil procedure.
The closure of proceedings was signed on 23 September 1999 and the
case argued at the hearing on 1 October 1999.
ON THIS THE COURT
I)
II)
Whereas, the appellant does not dispute – as well as he upheld precisely the appealed
judgment – that on 1 August 1997, there were already several months of
unpaid rent that the court set precisely at the sum of 11,412.92 Francs;
Whereas, Mr. MACHROUH is thus sentenced to pay this confirmed sum in cash
funds or receipts;
Whereas, it is just, that given this serious and persistent failure by the lessee in
his obligation to pay his rent payments at the agreed upon time (Article 1728‐
2o of the Civil Code and 7)a) from the Act of 6 July 1989), the court ordered
the termination of his lease pursuant to Articles 1184 and 1741 of the Civil
Code and ordered his eviction and sequestration of the furniture; that the
judgment is thus confirmed and that the court specifies that this eviction as
well as that of any occupants on these grounds of Monsieur MACHROUH, will
be performed in accordance with the provisions of Articles 61 to 66 from the
Act from 9 July 1991 (amended by the Act from 29 July 1998);
Whereas, that the appellant has not submitted documentation of civil status
making it impossible to know his family circumstances and that he says
nothing about income or about the profession of his alleged wife; that the
related document submitted are inadequate and incomplete and that the party
concerned does not specify or show anything about his profession or current
income, or on his tax assessment for the years 1998 and 1999; that notably, his
last pay slips are outdated and date to the period from June to September
1998; that moreover, he makes no offer of payment, and that consequently his
claim for the granting of delays in payment is dismissed pursuant to articles
1244‐1 to 1244‐3 of the Civil Code;
Whereas, as for the cross‐appeal by the consorts LEMAIRE‐ROSSET, that Mr.
MACHROUH does not dispute the existence of an oral lease for the second
apartment that he is still currently occupying, and that he has not disputed
that this lease is in effect (as defined by Article 1716 of the civil code), being
observed that the lessee has never demanded the establishment of a lease
contract in writing; that as regards the price of this oral lease, the court
concerned that by law, the provisions of Article 1716 of the Civil Code are not
pubic policy and it is thus its obligation to set this price according to the
circumstances and according to the will of the parties; that it emphasizes that
Mr. MACHROUH never protested the oral rent of 1,803.75 Francs (all expenses
included) per month invoked by the lessors or in the deadline notices that he
received, and that in any event, his arguments regarding the price of this oral
lease are futile because in fact, he is not paying the new rent or the former one;
that this monthly rent of 1,803.75 Francs (including tax) is thus chosen by the
court;
Whereas, the appellant does not specify or show anything on the
subject of payments, whether on time or irregular, that he should have paid
them pursuant to this new oral lease; that he is therefore sentenced to pay to
the consort LEMAIRE‐ROSSET the justified amount of 39,168.62 Francs in
back rent owed by him for the period from January 1997 to June 1999;
Whereas, moreover, the judgment is confirmed by justly sentencing Mr.
MACHROUH to pay occupational rent precisely set at the amount of the last
monthly rent plus rental expenses and this, until his full and final departure
from the premises; that the appellant had his unjustified claim for granting of
payment delays was dismissed on these grounds;
Whereas, finally, given the equity, Mr. MACHROUH is sentenced to pay
to the consorts LEMAIRE_ROSSET the amount of 5,000 Francs pursuant to
Article 700 of the new code of civil procedure;
FOR THESE REASONS
The Court ruling in public, in the presence of both parties and as
the court of last resort;
‐DISMISSES Mr. Bouziane MACHROUH’S appeal and all claims
that the latter includes;
‐SENTENCED Mr. MACHROUH to pay to the consorts LEMAIRE‐
ROSSET the amount of 11,412.92 Francs, in cash funds or receipts;
‐CONFIRMED the judgment in all its provisions ordering the
termination of the lease and the eviction and sequestration of the
furniture of Mr. MACHROUH and of any occupants on these grounds;
‐ORDERED that the eviction will take place in accordance with
Articles 61 to 66 from the Act from 9 July 1991 (amended by the Act
from 29 July 1998);
‐CONFIRMED the judgment by precisely setting the monthly
occupational rent due by Mr. MACHROUH until his full and final
departure, and DISMISSED the request by the appellant for payment
delays;
In addition to the upheld judgment;
‐SENTENCED Mr. MACHROUH to pay to the consorts LEMAIRE‐
ROSSET (based on a monthly oral rent of 1,803.75 Francs including tax)
the amount of 39, 168.62 Francs in back rent owed by him for the
period from January 1997 to June 1999;
‐SENTENCED the appellant to pay to the consorts LEMAIRE‐
ROSSET the amount of 5,000 Francs pursuant to Article 700 of the new
code of civil procedure;
‐SENTENCED Mr. MACHROUH to pay all trial and appeal
expenses that will be directly collected from him by the GAS SCP,
attorney‐at‐law, in accordance with provisions of Article 699 of the
new code of civil procedure and of the law on jurisdictional aid.
