What is this observatory for?
In territories subject to rent control (article 140 of the ELAN law), the base rent of a listed dwelling is capped at the increased reference rent set each year by prefectural decree. This observatory aggregates those schedules to compare sectors, track the gap between furnished and unfurnished lets, and place a dwelling by its construction period.
