Chapter III: Disposal of movable property

The furniture found on the premises is returned, at the evicted person’s expense, to a place designated by the latter. Failing this, they will be left on the premises or stored in another suitable place described in detail by the bailiff in charge of enforcement, with a summons to the evicted person to remove them within a period set by regulation.

On expiry of the time limit, any assets that may be sold shall be put up for sale by public auction. Property that cannot be sold is deemed to have been abandoned. The proceeds of the sale are paid to the evicted person after deduction of costs and the landlord’s claim.

Articles L. 433-1 and L. 433-2 are not applicable to the eviction of the spouse, partner linked by a civil solidarity pact or violent cohabitee ordered by the family affairs judge on the basis of the article 515-9 of the Civil Code.
