Arabic-language reference guide to residential tenancy and eviction in Algeria under the Civil Code (Ordinance 75-58) as amended by Law 07-05 of 2007. General legal information, not legal advice — verify with Algerian counsel. Law 07-05 abolished the old tenant-protection regime, so leases are now freely fixed-term.
In Algeria, Law 07-05 (2007) made leases freely fixed-term with market rent, removing the old 'right to remain.' A lease must be in writing with a certain date under penalty of nullity (Art. 467 bis) — in practice a notarized lease. At the contractual end the tenant must leave; there is no fixed statutory pre-eviction notice in days (eviction runs via formal demand by bailiff + court order). A tenant may terminate early with 2 months' notice by extrajudicial act (Art. 469 bis 1).
