The rental framework will soon be put back in place in Lille. An announcement that delights the city's PS, Martine Aubry, who is very attached to this control system. The Lille municipal candidate has just renewed her request to the government, three years after the cancellation of this measure.
Experienced in February 2017, the rent framework had finally been removed by the Lille administrative court, eight months later. In fact, the system was applied only to the municipality of Lille, while the ALUR law of 2014 required its application across the entire agglomeration, i.e. 59 municipalities. Back in 2020, rent controls will be tested in the municipalities of Lille, Lomme and Hellemmes, until November 2023 according to the decree published in the Official Journal last Friday.
Why control rents?
The framework of rents obliges the lessors to respect a price range per m2 established by the prefecture. They cannot therefore fix a rent 20% higher than the reference rent, nor lower it by more than 30%.
Recognized as a "tense area", Lille meets the four conditions provided for by the ELAN law of 2018 to benefit from supervision, indicates the ministerial decree. " Lille, recognized as the third most expensive city in France with an increase in private rents of 70% between 2000 and 2012, indeed needs it to guarantee affordable housing for all and promote social mix and attractiveness " estimates Martine Aubry, in a press release.
According to the mayor of Lille, the framing of rents makes it possible to reconcile rents with the real capacities of the inhabitants. We must now wait a few weeks to find out the reference rental rates which will be determined by the Prefect of the North and which will apply to leases signed or renewed after this period.
