A measure applied in Paris, Lille, Bordeaux… and several cities in Seine-Saint-Denis
The rent regulations prohibit landlords from asking tenants for an amount greater than a given sum, which varies depending on the neighborhood depending on the state of the market.
It applies in areas of more than 50,000 inhabitants "where there is a marked imbalance between housing supply and demand".
Provided for by the Elan law of 2018, the ceiling on rents only concerned Paris and Lille until June 1. It was extended on that date to nine cities of Seine-Saint-Denis in the Parisian suburbs, and at the beginning of September to the metropolises of Bordeaux, Montpellier and Lyon.
