This article analyzes Law No. 6-79 governing contractual relations between lessors and tenants of premises used for housing or professional purposes. It examines the main innovations of the statute in relation to rent revision, service charges, security deposits, notice requirements, judicial validation of eviction, succession in the lease, and rules on subletting and assignment. The author places the law in continuity with earlier Moroccan legal texts while highlighting the areas where it reorganizes the balance between contractual freedom and tenant protection. The paper provides a systematic legal commentary on the structure, scope, and practical implications of the reform.
