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

This is the case for the following communes and groupings of communes:
- Bordeaux (lease signed or renewed since 15 July 2022)

Paris
When Lease was signed from 1to July 2019 and that the accommodation has special characteristics (location, comfort...), the owner can request a rent supplement.
The rent supplement represents a portion of the rent.
In other words, the amount of rent (excluding charges) consists of the basic rent (excluding charges) and the rent supplement.
Base Rent Amount
The basic rent included in the lease must be at least equal to reference rent increased ::
- which corresponds to the category of accommodation (number of rooms, location, construction period, empty or furnished rental)
- and is in effect on the date of signing of the lease.
Paris: estimate reference rents (lease signed since July 2019)
Accommodation Features
To apply rent supplement, housing must have location or comfort characteristics meeting the following conditions:
- Be decisive in comparison with the accommodation of the same category in the same geographical area (for example: view of a historical monument...)
- Not already taken into account when setting the reference rent for the dwelling (which excludes the number of main rooms and the time of construction of the dwelling)
- Do not give rise to recovery by the owner for loads or energy-saving jobs
However, when the lease has been signed since August 18, 2022, the rent supplement is prohibited if the dwelling has at least 1 of the following characteristics:
- Sanitary on the landing
- Signs of moisture on some walls
- DPE: titleContent Class F or G
- Windows that allow air to pass through unnaturally (without ventilation grating)
- Opposite less than 10 m away
- Infiltration or flooding from the outside
- Water evacuation problems in the last 3 months
- Degraded Electrical Installation
- Poor exposure of the main part
Lease
Lease must be signed from 1to July 2019.
The lease must contain the following information:
- Amount rent supplement
- Characteristics of the accommodation justifying the rent supplement
The tenant can challenge the rent supplement to Departmental Conciliation Commission (CDC) within 3 months of signing the lease. The onus is on the owner to prove that 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 notice from the CDC to appeal to the judge. He must seize the protection litigation judge of the court on which the dwelling depends. He may ask the judge to cancel 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.
FYI
for mobility lease, it is possible to use judicial conciliator, but not to the CDC.
