French to English translations [Non-PRO]
Bus/Financial - Law (general) / Rent Contract
French term or phrase: domiciliation
The context is that of a Commercial Lease where the tenant is prohibited from sub-letting the rented premises. But also the act of 'domiciliation' is prohibited. Any idea what this might be?

Toute sous-location ainsi que toute domiciliation sont expressement interdite.

agree  Christopher RH: yes, I would stick to this. The aim is not so much to prohibit running a mailbox company, but rather to prevent the company from registering its subsidiaries etc. there.

agree  Bruce Berger: ...although this would also prevent running a mailbox company that has businesses that use their mailbox as their registered business address

  -> Thanks.
agree  Christopher RH: Though I agree "domicilation" is not great, I'm a bit dubious about "accomodation address" which sounds like a synonym for mailbox services. It's really the question of the registered offices here.

forbidden to place any registered office / company headquarters


Explanation:
"domiciliation" is the word given by Collins-Robert, but I think it is better to explain it. I think they want to avoid that a company uses that address as registered office / headquarters in a legal sense.

You may need to re-arrange the phrase to fit your sentence. My explanation focuses on the real purpose.

Domiciliation *can* be lending out your address, but it can also refer to a company\'s own registered address. See notably:
http://www.apce.com/index.php?rubrique_id=7&type_page=IH&con... : \"Il s\'agit de l\'adresse administrative de l\'entreprise, celle qui figure sur tous les documents de l\'entreprise (papier à en-tête, factures, téléphone...). La domiciliation se distingue du lieu de l\'exercice réel de l\'activité\" and
http://www.justice.gouv.fr/actua/bo/dacs94b.htm .

The domiciliation can be the same place as the lieu d\'exercice or somewhere else. In the short extract the asker quoted, I cannot see anything that says that the domiciliation cannot concern the same company that rents the premises, not just lending your address. There could be various legal reasons for having an activity but not a registered address, although I could not list these reasons.

agree  Christopher RH: This could work... as long as you specify for any *other* company//..."domiciliation" is lending your address../// true, but "domiciliation" is contrasted with "exercice réel", and in this context it is only ever used for the 1st *without* the 2nd.

  -> The original text doesn't say that, even though one may think so. It could really mean that the company that rents needs to place their legal domicile elsewhere, couldn't it?/Domiciliation is not so limited as you would like - see my added note.//+note
