The french local taxe called in french « taxe d’habitation » has to be shared (and paid) by every flatmate, proportionaly to how long they stay in the flat (prorata temporis per capita). As the payment is a yearly payment to the french administration, every flatmate leaving the apartment before the tax notification arrives, has to pay in advance an estimated quote of this tax (proportionaly to the duration of his/her stay in the flat).

Before leaving, you have to clean your room.
