Hicham's family lives in La Courneuve (Seine-Saint-Denis), in a building considered unsanitary.
Denouncing the living conditions of its occupants, the young man shows it to Brut.
"When we sleep, we feel water falling on our heads," he says, pointing to infiltrations in the ceiling.
This situation began more than two and a half years ago, and the family even had to give up living in certain rooms because of the deterioration: “My little brother has chronic asthma, so he can no longer sleep here.
His room is abandoned because with the infiltrations and the condensation, the humidity has settled there, adds Hicham.
We are supposed to live in an F5, but we have to condemn rooms”.
“We see that the building is not maintained”
Outside, the observation is the same: “If you look at the state of the building, you see that it is not maintained.
However, it is a building which, this year, is just ten years old.
That means that we pay exorbitant rents – around 900 to 1,000 euros – for places that aren't even maintained!

The second component is a compensation mechanism that addresses the issue of loss of rental enjoyment for those whose homes are affected.
