Housing in France: Senate, construction and rent increases

On October 26, 2026, the Senate voted to extend rent controls for two years in the municipalities where they apply, without extending them or limiting rent supplements. Two days later, housing starts fell 9.7% year-on-year at the end of September, to 318,000 homes, well short of the 400,000 target, and ANIL analyzed the increase in long-term furnished rentals, with rents around 10% higher. On October 29, Ipsos BVA polls indicated that 81% of French people are in favor of tax relief for landlords, that housing is a major concern and weighs on the vote of 43% of those polled for 2027, while the market remains sluggish and new home prices have fallen over six months. On November 1, the private rental rent reference index rose again, penalizing tenants who signed their lease between October 15 and January 15.

Angle comparison for the whole story

All three sides cover the same sequence (Senate, housing starts, Ipsos BVA poll, sluggish market) but select distinct angles: the left emphasizes the limits of rent controls and the increase in furnished rents, the center on market figures and the political agenda, the right on French people's expectations expressed by the poll, particularly landlord taxation.

Left

Highlights the flaws in rent controls (extension without expansion or limitation of rent supplements, uncertain compliance) and the growth of long-term furnished rentals, whose rents are presented as higher than those of unfurnished housing.

Centre

Prioritizes market data (six-month decline in new home prices, 9.7% decline in housing starts and gap with the 400,000 home target) as well as the place of housing in concerns and voting, with a factual treatment of the Senate vote.

Right

Focuses coverage on the Ipsos BVA barometer: 81% in favor of tax relief for landlords, housing as a major concern weighing on the 2027 vote, and preference for renovation over new-home purchases.
