The departmental conciliation commission provided for by article L. 145-35 is made up of lessors and lessees, on the one hand, and qualified persons, on the other. It comprises one or more sections, each made up of two landlords, two tenants and one qualified person. The Prefect determines the number of sections and appoints the full and alternate members of each section, for a renewable term of three years, after consultation with the bodies representing landlords and tenants.
