Question juridique clé
Whether the real-estate leasing contract as a whole required public notarization under form rules for property transfers or purchase rights.
Solution extraite
No. The contract was a leasing agreement, not a property transfer contract; no statutory basis required public notarization of the entire agreement.
Motifs extraits
Form freedom applies unless a statute provides otherwise. The lease mainly grants use for rent and leaves the lessee several post-term options; only the purchase option is subject to notarization, not the whole lease.
