Article 1711 of the French Civil Code

These two kinds of hire are further subdivided into several particular species:

“Lease to rent” is called the hire of houses and that of furniture;

“Farm lease”, that of rural hereditaments;

“Rent”, the hire of labour or service;

“Livestock lease”, that of animals, the profit of which is shared between the owner and the person to whom he entrusts them.

Estimates, contracts or prices made, for the undertaking of a work in return for a fixed price, are also a hire, when the material is supplied by the person for whom the work is done.

These last three species have special rules.

Article 1711

Ces deux genres de louage se subdivisent encore en plusieurs espèces particulières :

On appelle ” bail à loyer “, le louage des maisons et celui des meubles ;

” Bail à ferme “, celui des héritages ruraux ;

” Loyer “, le louage du travail ou du service ;

” Bail à cheptel “, celui des animaux dont le profit se partage entre le propriétaire et celui à qui il les confie.

Les devis, marché ou prix fait, pour l’entreprise d’un ouvrage moyennant un prix déterminé, sont aussi un louage, lorsque la matière est fournie par celui pour qui l’ouvrage se fait.

Ces trois dernières espèces ont des règles particulières.
