Open the rent-control checkerHow does rent control work?
In territories subject to rent control (article 140 of the ELAN law of 23 November 2018), the base rent of a listed dwelling cannot exceed the increased reference rent set each year by prefectural decree. This ceiling, expressed in €/m², depends on the town, the number of rooms, the construction period and whether the dwelling is furnished.
A rent supplement may be added to the ceiling only if the dwelling has exceptional location or comfort features; it must be justified in the lease and remains prohibited for dwellings rated F or G on the EPC. The reference rent and increased reference rent are mandatory mentions in the lease.
If the ceiling is exceeded, the tenant may refer the matter to the departmental conciliation commission, and the prefect may, after formal notice, impose an administrative fine of up to €5,000 for an individual landlord and €15,000 for a legal entity, in addition to refunding the overcharge.
