Article L2421-8 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

The persons mentioned in article L. 2421-6 may, in addition, purely and simply waive their rights.

They are deemed to have waived them in the event of a refusal to acquire or lease or, in the absence of a response, within two months of formal notice being given to them.

Constructions made by persons who have waived their rights are allocated to the municipality without compensation. However, the latter is liable to the holders of the right of enjoyment for the compensation allocated in return for this right.

Article L2421-8

Les personnes mentionnées à l’article L. 2421-6 peuvent, en outre, renoncer purement et simplement à leurs droits.

Elles sont réputées y avoir renoncé en cas de refus d’acquérir ou de louer ou, à défaut de réponse, dans les deux mois de la mise en demeure qui leur a été faite.

Les constructions effectuées par les personnes qui ont renoncé à leurs droits sont attribuées sans indemnité à la commune. Celle-ci est toutefois redevable envers les titulaires du droit de jouissance de l’indemnité allouée en contrepartie de ce droit.
