Nine cities of Seine-Saint-Denis will benefit from this device in the Parisian suburbs. In a press release, the National Association for the Defense of Consumers denounces “too timid progress”.

A prefectural decree dated April 8 extended the cap on rents in the territory of Plaine Commune, located north of Paris, from June 1, for bare and furnished rentals in the private park. Thus, nine cities of Seine-Saint-Denis, bringing together more than 430,000 inhabitants, will “ benefit from the same protection »That the Parisians, underlines in a statement of Consumption Housing Living environment (CLCV). ” However, even if we approve such a measure “For the tenants of Aubervilliers, La Courneuve or even Saint-Denis,” she is far from satisfactory », For the association.
In question ? A decree of June 2016, which had already made the rent framework applicable to the 400 municipalities of the Paris area. ” However, the Elan law of 2018, by modifying this device so that it is only a matter for the voluntary service of the local authorities, rendered this decree without object. 400 municipalities on one side, 9 on the other, the figures speak for themselves “, Explains the CLCV adding that” we are far from the mark ».
Review the device
Another point underlined by the association, this experimental device is limited in time. It will therefore have to end in November 2023. ” A deadline far too close which will in no case allow to draw up a relevant qualitative assessment of its application in these municipalities She warns. While it is no longer possible for any city to request the implementation of rent control in its territory, since November 2020, ” this restriction is inexplicable », Denounces the association. Indeed, ” the device is supposed to be voluntary ».
Faced with this situation, the CLCV therefore asks that the device be applicable to the entire Parisian agglomeration, and that it be perpetuated. In France, several cities applied at the end of last year to benefit from the cap. This is particularly the case for Bordeaux, Lyon and Montpellier.
