livret de bail

English translation: leasing procedures booklet

French to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / civil suit from the DRC
French term or phrase: livret de bail
this is used multiple times in a legal proceeding in the DRC. Is it as simple as it sounds : a "lease handbook" or "lease notebook" or could it actually refer to the "lease contract" or "lease agreement"? I've never come across this term in European French contracts/legal proceedings.

One example of use:
"il s'est fait établir un livret de bail pour illustrer son caractère frauduleux."

leasing manual


Explanation:
"booklet" could be regional, often referring to the brevity, only a few to a dozen pages. In North America we would call all such instructional material "manuals", regardless of size.

agree  Adrian MM.: - as opposed to a private vs. admin. rent book in the UK

agree  Daryo: it does sound like a "rent book", but in UK a "rent book" contains ALSO a record of all payments of rent see https://www.lodgersite.com/Rent_Book.pdf // looks more like some kind od "default model for lease agreement"
9 hrs
agree  AllegroTrans: It sounds like more than a rent book: more like a document explaining renting law and tenants' rights etc. I am sure asker could find a specimen with a bit of web research and then use this to distil a suitably descriptive term
