You live in France, and so does your paperwork. Every letter comes with its own rule and its own deadline, usually in a language you're still learning. AdminLanding is the tool I built for that, and this short film shows how it works. I'm the founder, so read this as what it is: an explanation of my own product, with the free parts and the paid parts spelled out.

In France, a residential lease isn't a template you pick. Its content is set by law. The film below takes under four minutes to walk through what a compliant lease must contain on the official model updated on 1 October 2026, what has to be attached to it, and what it commits you to once it's signed. This article is the written version, with the legal references, for when you have a lease in front of you.

From 1 October 2026, every residential lease signed or renewed in France must follow an updated official template. The change comes from Décret n° 2026-596 of 6 July 2026. It is a short text, and most of a lease stays exactly as it was. But one clause is now written by the State word for word, and a lease drafted from an old model will no longer match. This guide explains what changed, what did not, and what to check before you sign.

Hiring someone to look after your children at home — or entrusting them to an assistante maternelle — makes you an employer under the convention collective IDCC 3239. That convention, not the market, sets the floor: a minimum hourly rate, a formula that turns it into the same salary every month, and a set of allowances that are not salary at all. Here is what each piece costs, with the article it comes from, as it stands since 1 June 2026.

Employing someone at home in France comes down, month after month, to a single act: the declaration. Get the service right, the window right and the figures right, and the payslip, the contributions and the CAF payment all follow. Get any of the three wrong and you are chasing a missing complément or arguing about hours nobody wrote down. Here is how the month works — and where it usually goes wrong for a first-time employer.

A household contract in France ends on paper. Between the first registered letter and the last payslip, a nanny, cleaner or home carer and the family that employs them exchange a dozen written documents, each attached to an article of the collective agreement for household employers (CCN IDCC 3239), and four more come out of the CESU or Pajemploi account. This walkthrough lists the 13 documents now available on AdminLanding's home-employment page, states which party writes each one, when, and who receives it, and separates them from the URSSAF documents that the platform deliberately leaves to CESU and Pajemploi.
