Rental permits: remove prior permission, strengthen targeted inspections
Replace local prior authorisation with simple registration and inspections focused on genuinely unsafe housing.
What the French rental permit is
French housing law allows local authorities to define areas subject to prior rental authorisation or rental declaration in order to fight substandard housing.
Vichy / rue Harpet needs precision
Vichy Communauté currently lists rue Harpet in the declaration zone, not among the streets listed for prior authorisation. A specific notarial requirement should therefore be checked against the exact address and date.
scenario
Remove general ex-ante permission to rent safe housing and replace it with automatic registration, risk-based inspections and strong sanctions for genuinely unsafe or indecent dwellings.
