Overview

• The bipartisan report by deputies Annaïg Le Meur and Iñaki Echaniz would open the scheme on a voluntary basis to all communes in zone tendue and adjoining municipalities.
• APUR estimates indicate average Paris rents from July 2023 to June 2024 were 8.2% lower than they would have been without the cap.
• The text proposes to pin down complements de loyers by assigning relative €/m² values to annex areas such as terraces, cellars and mezzanines to cut disputes.
• Additional measures target better reference-rent calculations, curb legal circumvention via coliving or flatshares, rebalance appeal timelines and shield tenants from abusive lease terminations.
• The report argues the cap is not driving the overall fall in rental supply and is intended to temper increases and prevent excessive rents, with deputies citing positive feedback from participating communes.
