When one or more premises are left vacant following the closure or relocation of a station, the mayor or the president of the local authority of which the municipality is a member may request any information from the occupier of these premises relating to their condition and intended use. The latter has one month in which to provide this information. Where applicable, the mayor or the president of the local authority of which the municipality is a member may propose to the lessee an agreement for the provision of the vacant premises. The assignee has three months in which to give its response, of which it also informs the State representative in the department.
The agreement is signed by the State representative in the department, the municipality or the public inter-municipal tax cooperation establishment of which the latter is a member and the assignee.
