Provision sur charges

Somme demandée à un locataire pour acquitter une partie des charges en l’attente des comptes définitifs du syndic.
http://www.pap.fr/_provision-sur-charges.htm

The amount you will pay each month for rent is made up of three parts: the base rent, tax, and charges. Taxes will be the equivalent of 2.5% of the base rent. The cost of the charges may vary each month, but a general idea of the cost should be given before signing the lease. Normally you will be required to pay 1/12 of the estimated cost each month. This is called la provision sur charges. At the end of the year, the landlord must provide a list of the actual expenses so that the differences can be settled
