Question 8059 — housing

Summary

Mr. Antoine Armand draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization, responsible for housing, to the abuses linked to certain abusive subletting practices, in particular when they are part of situations of illegitimate occupation of housing. A recent event in the Rhône illustrates such a shift: a couple of tenants sublet the accommodation they occupied via the Airbnb internet platform, for an amount of up to 2,000 euros per day, even though the lease formally prohibited this practice. This couple had stopped paying their rent and remained in the premises despite a court decision to evict them, thanks to the temporary protection offered by the winter break provided for in article L. 412-6 of the code of civil enforcement procedures. If the winter break remains a an essential guarantee for people in precarious situations, its misuse for profit endangers the legitimacy of the system. It creates a deep feeling of injustice among the owners concerned and harms the balance of the right to housing. This situation also reveals the urgency of better regulating the commercial uses of digital platforms, which contribute in certain areas to the scarcity of supply. traditional rental, particularly for low-income households. In this context, he would like to know what measures the Government intends to implement in order to prevent this type of abusive behavior. He questions him in particular about the possible strengthening of the responsibility of platforms which host manifestly illegal advertisements. Finally, he questions him about better means of supporting owners who are victims of such abuses, in particular through reinforced legal support or compensation schemes in the most serious situations.
