Bailment Agreement in Romania

Civil attorney in Romania. Bailment agreement in Romania

According to the Civil Code, a free loan contract in Romania also known as a bailment agreement in Romania, is a gratuitous contract through which one party, called the bailor in Romania, grants the other party, known as the bailee in Romania, the free use of a specific asset, with the obligation to return it in its original state after a certain period.

The object of such a contract can be personal property in Romania or real estate, meaning that agreements such as a free loan contract in Romania for housing, a free loan contract in Romania for a registered office, or a gratuitous loan in Romania for land can be concluded between the bailor in Romania and the bailee in Romania.

The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends consulting a real estate attorney in Romania, a contract lawyer in Romania, or a civil attorney in Romania to assist in drafting and reviewing a bailment agreement in Romania. This ensures the proper formalization of the agreement between the bailor in Romania and the bailee in Romania, regardless of whether it involves a registered office, housing, or land under a gratuitous loan in Romania.

The main characteristic of a free loan contract in Romania is that it is a gratuitous contract, without any consideration, which distinguishes it from a lease agreement, for example. Any free loan contract in Romania that involves consideration cannot be classified as a bailment agreement in Romania. A gratuitous loan in Romania can be concluded between both natural persons and legal entities.

Another important feature of a free loan contract in Romania is its real nature, meaning that for the agreement to be validly concluded, the actual delivery of the asset that is the object of the agreement must take place.

In principle, the written form is not mandatory for concluding a free loan contract in Romania, but The Romanian Law Firm Pavel Mărgărit and Associates recommends concluding it in writing to prove its existence and protect the rights and interests of each party involved. Furthermore, it is advisable to execute the contract in an authentic form or as a private document with a certified date, as this constitutes an enforceable title for the obligation of restitution in the event of the bailee in Romania‘s death or at the expiration of the term.

A civil lawyer in Romania or a real estate attorney in Romania can provide assistance in drafting the bailment agreement in Romania in compliance with legal provisions, negotiating, and reviewing it to ensure legal security for both parties and prevent potential disputes.

From the moment a free loan contract in Romania is concluded, whether it is a commodatum agreement in Romania for housing, a bailment agreement in Romania for a registered office, or a gratuitous loan in Romania for land, obligations arise for both parties. The bailor in Romania is required to deliver the asset to the bailee in Romania as per the agreement and to ensure the bailee in Romania‘s use of the asset. Additionally, in unforeseen situations, such as when the bailor in Romania has an urgent need for the asset, or if the bailee in Romania passes away or breaches their obligations, the bailor in Romania has the right to request early restitution.

The bailee in Romania is obligated to preserve the loaned asset with the diligence of a good owner and to use it according to its intended purpose. The bailee in Romania cannot permit a third party to use the loaned asset without prior approval from the bailor in Romania.

A free loan contract in Romania terminates upon the expiration of the term agreed between the parties, through early restitution of the asset, in case of loss or destruction of the asset, or by mutual agreement of the parties.

Consulting a contract lawyer in Romania or a real estate attorney in Romania is advisable to enable the legal use of an asset by another party, establishing clear obligations for each party and reducing the risk of disputes.
