The French real estate act called ‘loi Alur’ has made many changes to the French real estate market. One of the intentions of this new law is to install a requirement of owners to obtain a permit to rent their private dwelling in specific situations.
The reason behind this new level of French administration is to help fight against the continually renting of properties that present a risk to the health and safety of the occupants.
We understand municipalities and inter-municipal co-operation establishments (EPCIs) will now be able to define a geographical areas, or categories of dwellings or buildings, for which the leasing of a property will be subject of a Declaration or prior authorization. This includes a permit to rent for the territories most affected by the proliferation of housing considered a health risk for inhabitants.
