Rent control applies in Paris and other specifically designated areas, with rules differing between first lettings, re-lettings and renewals and with reference-rent limits in covered municipalities. It is not a nationwide cap and should not be confused with the expired rent-review-index shield. Users must check the current official list and the local reference rent for the property.
Tenants and landlords in municipalities where the experimental rent-control framework has been activated.
