Article L145-32 of the French Commercial code

The subtenant may apply to the principal tenant for renewal of its lease to the extent of the rights that the principal tenant itself has from the landlord. The lessor is called upon to assist in the act, as provided for in article L. 145-31.

At the expiry of the main lease, the landlord is only obliged to renew if he has, expressly or tacitly, authorised or approved the sublease and if, in the case of a partial sublease, the premises that are the subject of the main lease do not form an indivisible whole materially or in the common intention of the parties.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L145-32

Le sous-locataire peut demander le renouvellement de son bail au locataire principal dans la mesure des droits que ce dernier tient lui-même du propriétaire. Le bailleur est appelé à concourir à l’acte, comme il est prévu à l’article L. 145-31.

A l’expiration du bail principal, le propriétaire n’est tenu au renouvellement que s’il a, expressément ou tacitement, autorisé ou agréé la sous-location et si, en cas de sous-location partielle, les lieux faisant l’objet du bail principal ne forment pas un tout indivisible matériellement ou dans la commune intention des parties.
