What is the new Rental Permit in France?

esrea france

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.
