Lex Inside | Focus on the French rent control system

In a context where the rental market and its regulatory framework are undergoing rapid changes, our partner Louise Duvernois spoke to Lex Inside and Arnaud Dumourier about the existing rent control system and potential future legislative changes.

Key points of the interview:

— An update on the experimental rent control system introduced by the hashtag#Elan law, applied in areas known as “tight markets,” characterized by an imbalance between supply and demand;

— The conclusions of the “Flash” report evaluating this experiment and the positions taken by players in the real estate sector;

— The bills currently under discussion to perpetuate, strengthen, and expand this system;

— A focus on initial thoughts about a possible cap on commercial rents.
