Carte T delegation for independent agents
Publish your owners' rental listings and set their prices, within the framework of the Hoguet Law (the 1970 French law regulating real estate professionals). And the day one of them sells, stay their point of contact. Unlocker Real Estate holds the carte T (the French real estate transaction license) and the mandates.

The problem
Without a carte T, your listings are out of bounds
You know the property, its history and its owner. But publishing its rental or sale listing is real estate brokerage, which the Hoguet Law reserves for carte T holders and the people they authorize.
A license that takes a long time to get
Professional aptitude, financial guarantee, professional liability insurance: a path that does not fit your day-to-day business.
A real legal risk
Practicing without the license is a criminal offense.

Carte T and Hoguet Law compliance
The Hoguet Law of January 2, 1970 reserves real estate brokerage carried out on behalf of others to holders of a professional license. Its article 1 covers rentals first, "seasonal or not", then sales (text checked on Légifrance on September 28, 2026). The carte T covers both: publishing the rental listing, then, when the time comes, finding a buyer and negotiating.
A rental that is ancillary to a management mandate falls under the carte G instead (article 1-1, checked on September 28, 2026). That delegation is built on three contracts: partnership, management mandate and service agreement.
With the delegation, you are authorized by Unlocker Real Estate, the carte T holder, after a declaration to the CCI, under a commercial agent contract. Mandates are signed by the owner in favor of Unlocker Real Estate.
Who the carte T delegation is for
- Concierge companies that publish their owners’ rental listings and set their prices.
- Independent real estate agents who want to support a sale without joining a network.
- Professionals building a transaction business alongside property management.
Carte G, carte T or both
| Carte G | Carte T | |
|---|---|---|
| Activity | Property management with a lease | Rentals (listings, pricing), then sales |
| Mandate signed | Property management mandate | Rental or sales mandate |
| Plan | Premium or Premium + | Premium or Premium + |
The Premium plan includes one delegation of your choice. The Premium + plan combines the carte G delegation and the carte T delegation.
Questions about the carte T
Do I need a carte T (the French real estate transaction license) to publish an owner's rental listing?
Yes, as soon as the rental is not ancillary to a management mandate: the Hoguet Law (the 1970 French law regulating real estate professionals) covers the rental, seasonal or not, of other people's property. The delegation authorizes you to publish these listings on behalf of Unlocker Real Estate.
Can I sell a property for a third party without a carte T?
No. Brokering a sale on behalf of others requires a carte T. The delegation lets you act within that framework, with the mandate held by a license holder.
Can I combine a carte G (the French property management license) and a carte T?
Yes, with the Premium + plan, which includes both delegations and priority support.
How are my fees paid?
They are collected on the platform and split automatically through split payment, following the rules defined in the contract.
