When renting a property in France, there are mandatory documents to provide. Here is a list of the main documents required for residential rental:

The "carnet d'information du logement" is a housing information booklet in France. It serves as a dossier for residential properties, available in digital or paper format, and its purpose is to compile important information and data related to a property's energy performance. This housing information booklet is somewhat analogous to a car's maintenance booklet, which is often stored in the glove compartment of a vehicle. However, in this context, the housing information booklet has become mandatory for all residential properties since January 1, 2023, in contrast to its automotive counterpart.
