Question juridique clé
Whether the challenge to the initial rent was filed within the statutory time limit.
Solution extraite
The challenge was time-barred because the 30-day period started at the latest when the official form was received in May 2006, while the conciliation request was filed only on 16 February 2009.
Motifs extraits
For initial rent disputes, the official form had to be notified at the latest upon delivery of the dwelling. Even accepting the tenants' most favorable version, the notice was received by end of May 2006 and sufficiently informed them of the 30-day deadline; the later filing was therefore clearly late.
