Rents management: 7 steps to know if his apartment is in the nails

So scam or not scam? In July 2016, the Ministry of Housing launched www.encadrementdesloyers.gouv.fr , a website where tenants and landlords can verify whether their apartment complies with the law on rent management . The latter, which came into effect last year in Paris , aims, as the name suggests, to regulate the price of rents in Paris according to several criteria: geographical location , surface , date of construction of the dwelling ...

On this digital platform, the device is ultra-simplified: it is enough to inform the data related to its housing (7 in total) to know if the price of his rent complies with the law or not.

What if my landlord does not comply with the law?

Housing is one of our main concerns: the French spend on average 20% of their income *. If we find that the price of our rent does not respect the law, we can initially appeal to the Departmental Conciliation Commission to reach an amicable agreement. If the proceedings are unsuccessful, an appeal may also be lodged with the court of first instance .

Since the introduction of the Rent Control Act, the ministry has seen a 30% decrease in some rents.
