Verified 01 November 2022 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
In some municipalities, the owner of a dwelling rented with a dwelling lease can charge the tenant a rent supplement.

This is the case for the following municipalities and groupings of municipalities:

- Is Together (lease signed or renewed since 1er December 2021)

Paris
When the lease has been signed since 1er july 2019 and that the accommodation has particular characteristics (location, comfort...), the owner can request a rent supplement.
The rent supplement is part of the rent.
In other words, the amount of rent (excluding expenses) consists of the base rent (excluding expenses) and the rent supplement.
Base Rent Amount
The base rent entered in the lease must be at least equal to reference rent plus :
- which corresponds to the category of the dwelling (number of rooms, location, construction period, empty or furnished rental)
- and in effect on the date of signature of the lease.

Characteristics of the accommodation
To apply a rent supplement, housing must have locational or comfort characteristics meeting the following conditions:
- Be decisive in comparison with dwellings of the same category located in the same geographical area (e.g. view of a historical monument...)
- Not already taken into account in setting the reference rent for the dwelling (which excludes in particular the number of main rooms and the time of construction of the dwelling)
- Do not give rise to recovery by the owner for expenses or energy-saving work
But when the lease is signed since August 18, 2022, the rent supplement is prohibited if the dwelling has at least 1 of the following characteristics:
- Sanitary facilities on the landing
- Signs of humidity on some walls
- DPE: titleContent Class F or G
- Windows that allow air to pass abnormally (without ventilation grate)
- Facing less than 10 m
- Outside infiltration or flooding
- Water drainage problems in the last 3 months
- Degraded electrical installation
- Main room poor exposure

- Amount of rent supplement
- Characteristics of the dwelling justifying the rent supplement
The tenant can challenge the rent supplement to the Departmental Conciliation Committee (CDC) within 3 months of signing the lease. It is up to the owner to prove that the rent supplement is justified.
In case of agreement, the amount of rent shall be that fixed by the conciliation document issued by the CDC. This new amount applies from the effective date of the lease.
But if the disagreement persists, the tenant has 3 months from the receipt of the CDC's notice to appeal to the judge. He must seize the protection litigation judge the court on which the dwelling depends. He can ask the judge to set aside or reduce the rent supplement. The amount of rent fixed by the judge's decision shall apply from the date of entry into force of the lease.
