Matters we handle there
As an older, family district, L'Océan mainly sees inheritance cases, joint ownership, division of family houses and long-standing leases. Renovation and sale of buildings also raise land title and co-ownership questions. Family matters (divorce, maintenance, custody) and small commercial disputes complete the picture.

Frequently asked questions
How do you evict a tenant who does not pay rent?
For a residential lease governed by Law No. 67-12, the landlord first sends a formal notice to pay, and may then go to court to obtain payment of the rent, termination of the lease and eviction. The exact procedure depends on the contract and the situation. Eviction can only be carried out under a court decision, by a judicial officer: taking the law into your own hands is prohibited.
What can you do if a flat bought off-plan is delivered late?
Off-plan sales are governed by Law No. 107-12, which requires a written contract specifying, among other things, the delivery date and the guarantees. In the event of delay, the buyer may, depending on the contract and the law, seek performance, compensation for the delay or cancellation of the sale with a refund of the sums paid. Gather the contract, payment receipts and correspondence with the developer before taking action.
