The lessor may refuse to renew the lease. However, the lessor must, subject to the exceptions set out in articles L. 145-17 et seq, pay the evicted tenant a so-called eviction indemnity equal to the loss caused by the failure to renew.
This compensation includes, in particular, the market value of the business, determined in accordance with the practices of the profession, increased, where applicable, by the normal costs of removal and reinstallation, as well as the costs and transfer duties to be paid for a business of the same value, unless the landlord proves that the loss is less.
