Question 16948 — housing

Summary

Ms. Véronique Ludmann draws the attention of the Minister of Cities and Housing to the growing dissociation between housing and parking spaces, which were created during construction to meet the needs of these same housing units. In application of articles L. 151-30 et seq. of the town planning code, local town planning plans require builders to create parking areas proportionate to the number of housing units created. These spaces are therefore designed, legally and financially, as an accessory to the homes they serve and their cost of around 15,000 to 25,000 euros per underground space is integrated into the price of the operations. However, once the building has been delivered, no provision links the fate of these places to that of the housing. It even follows from a ministerial response that the manufacturer is not required to rent or sell them to the occupants of the accommodation concerned. When they are rented separately, these places fall under the sole common law of the civil code: the rent is free, the duration and termination freely fixed, without any of the protections of the residential lease of the law of July 6, 1989 nor of the rent control where it applies. This decorrelation produces paradoxical effects: households pay, for a place built because of their accommodation, a rent disconnected from it and subject to unlimited increases; in rent control zones, separate billing for parking can constitute a means of circumventing the cap; finally, spaces remain vacant or are sold to third parties while on-street parking is saturated, contrary to the objectives which justified their creation. Committed to regulation which protects the purchasing power of tenants without weighing on public finances or discouraging construction, the MP would like to know the Government's analysis of this situation. She asks him, on the one hand, if data exists on the extent of the dissociation between housing and parking and on its possible use for the purpose of circumventing rent controls and, on the other hand, if the Government is considering, if necessary, within the framework of the housing recovery bill, to clarify the rental regime for these places when they are rented to the occupant of the accommodation they serve, so that the link desired by the legislator at the construction stage does not disappear at the occupation stage.
