L’Rent supervision is regularly cited by owners’ associations, and by real estate professionals, as a brake at Irental. This is why many of them look forward to the end, in November 2026, of this experiment started in 2019 and in which the voluntary municipalities subject to the Vacant housing taxcurrently 72 in number.
Las! In a report submitted this Wednesday, September 24, to the National Assembly, deputies Annaïg Le Meur (Ensemble for the Republic) and Inaki Echaniz (Socialist Party) advocate “there sustainability»» rent supervision after November 2026, invoking its “”positive effects»». Recalling that this device “Is not intended to lower rents but to avoid excessive rents»»the two parliamentarians believe that he has “Fulfilled his goal”.

Regulate the complement of rent
For Inaki Echaniz, the best proof of this efficiency is that “The mayors, on the left as from the right or the center, who have experienced the supervision of the rents claim its sustainability”. The deputy and his colleague also recommend his “”extension»» to a greater number of voluntary municipalities, by simplifying the procedure “Rigid and complex” implementation of rent supervision. The two parliamentarians also look at the delicate subject of Rent supplement that some landlord owners may require. As a reminder, the management of rents consists in not exceeding more than 20% a reference rent, determined for a certain category of buildings in a given district. The rent may however be more than 20% greater than the reference rent if the accommodation has Exceptional characteristicslike the presence of a terrace in a big city.
The catch, for Inaki Echaniz and Annaïg Le Meur, is that “The law does not set any limits, it is open bar: nothing expressly prevents the rent on the grounds that there is a terrace!” Their report therefore offers “”regulate the level of the rent supplement»». In return, the two deputies recommend ending the list “arbitrary»» Housing for which a complement of rent is prohibited, for example those offering poor exposure or a vis-à-vis less than 10 meters. Of the “Disposable concepts, especially in a climate context where an exhibition in the North has advantages”estimates Inaki Echaniz, also pointing to the inconsistency of “Exceptional housing” For which a complement of rent is prohibited while the vis-à-vis less than 10 meters concerns only the kitchen and not the living room.

Soon a bill
But, for Danielle Dubrac, President of the United, who includes real estate agencies, “The fundamental problem of the management of rents, a device incoherent with perverse effects, is the data from which the reference rent is calculated”. “According to real estate professionals, reference rents are downgraded Because their calculation incorporates the rents of housing approved with the State, which are capped ”explicit Annaïg Le Meur. But “Not having found a consensus” With Inaki Echaniz on this point, she sends him back to “Parliamentary debate”.
The two deputies intend to quickly deposit a bill Based on their report and future conclusions of another mission to assess rents, launched a few months ago by former Prime Minister François Bayrou.
