Law 67.12: Morocco's Rental Legal Framework
Law 67.12 governs the contractual relationship between landlords and tenants for residential and professional premises in Morocco. It defines obligations, eviction procedures, rent revision rules, and dispute resolution.
Eviction Procedures in Morocco: What You Need to Know
Eviction can only happen through the courts. The landlord files with the court, providing evidence (unpaid rent, lease violation). During proceedings, the tenant stays in the property until an enforceable judgment is issued.
Morocco Rental Law FAQ
Yes, but under strict legal conditions set by Law 67.12. Any increase must be justified and notified in advance. Arbitrary rent hikes can be challenged in court.
Eviction requires a judicial process. The landlord must file with the court, citing legal grounds (unpaid rent, contract violation). Forced eviction outside court proceedings is illegal.
Landlords must deliver a habitable property, carry out major structural repairs, and ensure quiet enjoyment. Tenants handle minor repairs and damage from their own use.
Registration with the DGI is strongly recommended to protect both parties. A small fee applies. Unregistered leases remain legally valid but complicate dispute resolution.
