French term or phrase: loué avant meublé
Agency contract which owners of property must sign when letting somewhere:

"...

déclarer que le bien ci-dessus désigné n’est pas concerné par un dégât des eaux,

déclarer sur l’honneur respecter les obligations prévues par les articles L 324-2-1 du Code du tourisme et l’article L631-7 du Code de la construction et de l’habitation,

s’engager à souscrire à une assurance multirisques habitation avec extension de garantie louée avant meublé, portant clause de renonciation à recours, de telle sorte que le mandataire ne soit pas recherché en responsabilité à ce sujet,

ne pas louer sans le concours du mandataire au cours des 2 années suivant l’expiration du précédent mandat, à tout locataire qui aurait été présenté par le mandataire pendant la durée du présent mandat

..."

I may have parsed it incorrectly. To me I think it looks like these 3 words characterise the extension de garantie.

"let before furnished" ? Would be nice to know what it means.

(CH) let pre-furnished
Explanation:
As Tony comments, this could be a regional idiosyncracy and certianly not unkown in Germany and Switzerland.

I think this could be an intermediate 'basic/ spartan furnishings' stage between un-, pre-, semi- and fully furnished.

disagree  Tony M: Nice guess, but this is by no means one of the 'standard' ways of expressing that notion in normal FR (unless perhaps this document is non-European FR?)

furnished subletting


Explanation:
This is a long shot, but it could be a literal translation.

The Danish word 'fremleje' and the Norwegian word 'fremleie' mean 'sublet'. 'Frem-leje' literally means 'forward let', or 'louer avant' in French.

The asker says the contract is for owners, whereas subletting means that a tenant lets to another tenant. However, at least in Danish, the term 'fremleje' can also apply to an owner.

It may be worth checking if Scandinavians are involved.

agree  Elizabeth Tamblin: I think this it what it means, based on finding a few references to the phrase avant meublée, e.g., https://www.inautia.fr/bateau-464401201731102561001001014998...

agree  Tony M: LOL! More like Betty Marsden of Woman's Hour

  -> Thanks, Tony. Like Gerry Marsden of the Pacemakers, YWNWA.
neutral  AllegroTrans: I just think it's too idiosyncratic to be understood by an EN-speaker

  -> You're right but the discrepant genders of loué(e) avant meublé are also amenable to the alt. interpretation suggested of a furnished 'avant partie'.
