Article L145-30 of the French Commercial code

In the event of failure to hand over the keys on the set date and after formal notice, the receiver shall withhold 1% per day of delay from the amount of the compensation and return this withholding to the lessor on his receipt alone.

When the two-week period provided for in article L. 145-58 has ended without the lessor having exercised his right of repentance, the eviction compensation must be paid to the lessee or, where applicable, to a receiver, within three months of the date of a summons issued by extrajudicial act which must, under penalty of nullity, reproduce this paragraph.

Article L145-30

En cas de non-remise des clés à la date fixée et après mise en demeure, le séquestre retient 1 % par jour de retard sur le montant de l’indemnité et restitue cette retenue au bailleur sur sa seule quittance.

Lorsque le délai de quinzaine prévu à l’article L. 145-58 a pris fin sans que le bailleur ait usé de son droit de repentir, l’indemnité d’éviction doit être versée au locataire ou, éventuellement, à un séquestre, dans un délai de trois mois à compter de la date d’un commandement fait par acte extrajudiciaire qui doit, à peine de nullité, reproduire le présent alinéa.
