You don't agree with the rent increase your landlord wants to apply to the lease renewal

 

Six months before the end of your lease, you receive a proposal to renew your contract for a rent in an amount greater than what you pay, accompanied by references of rents from comparable accommodation. Remember that this is only a proposal. So you can dispute it or negotiate it. Do it by responding to your lessor by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.

 

To obtain rental references in Paris, contact the Paris agglomeration rent observatory (Olap) or the district town halls (call to find out the days of permanence). There are also observatories in the provinces: check with your departmental equipment directorate.

Dear,

 

You sent me a proposal to renew the rental contract on the basis of a monthly rent of (…) euros.

 

In your opinion, this new rent would be at the level of neighborhood rents, and you are providing me with the references that you used to determine it. Let me disagree with these references.

 

(1st case) Indeed, they all relate to accommodation rented for less than three years, while the law specifies that two thirds of the references must correspond to rentals in which there has been no change of tenant. for three years.

 

(2nd case) Indeed, the referenced homes are not comparable to mine. I remind you that mine does not have (name the elements of comfort or pleasure available to the accommodation mentioned and which your own accommodation does not have: elevator, size of the rooms, quality of construction, etc.).

 

(Optional) However, I am not opposed to reviewing the level of my rent, provided that it does not exceed (…) euros per month, ie (…) euros / m2, which corresponds to the rents actually practiced here.

 

Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my best regards.
