Article L144-11 of the French Commercial code

If the management lease contract includes a sliding scale clause, the revision of the rent may, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, be requested whenever, as a result of the operation of this clause, this rent is increased or decreased by more than a quarter in relation to the price previously fixed contractually or by court decision.

If one of the elements used to calculate the sliding scale clause disappears, the revision may only be requested and pursued if economic conditions have changed to such an extent as to result in a variation of more than a quarter in the rental value of the business.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L144-11

Si le contrat de location-gérance est assorti d’une clause d’échelle mobile, la révision du loyer peut, nonobstant toute convention contraire, être demandée chaque fois que, par le jeu de cette clause, ce loyer se trouve augmenté ou diminué de plus du quart par rapport au prix précédemment fixé contractuellement ou par décision judiciaire.

Si l’un des éléments retenus pour le calcul de la clause d’échelle mobile vient à disparaître, la révision ne peut être demandée et poursuivie que si les conditions économiques se sont modifiées au point d’entraîner une variation de plus du quart de la valeur locative du fonds.
