Loi Alur Benefits for Renter of French Real Estate Benefit Number Two

In the new French housing act this year one of the key measures is the restriction on the amount of rents in particular areas. These particular areas, for example areas of Paris, will be defined in law.

According to David Rodrigues, jurist at Association nationale de défense des consommateurs et usagers, soon due to changes in the French housing law (Loi Alur) rents will be set in these defined areas and the rents may not be exceeded.

However, if the property has outstanding features (to be defined) the property may be able to be rented at a higher rate than indicated in the rules.

Loi Alur Benefits for Renter of French Real Estate Benefit Number One

When you rent French real estate at this time it is customary that the renter pays the real estate agent the equivalent of one or two months rent for the services offered.

According to David Rodrigues, jurist at Association nationale de défense des consommateurs et usagers, soon due to changes in the French housing law (Loi Alur) French real estate agents, will now charge a fee calculated on the square meter size of the property and this amount will vary by region in France.

This could lead to a substantial reduction for some renters, however, it depends on the area you live in since sometimes this new calculation can end up that your are paying more than in the old system.
