Worth noting you can't evict people in Paris if they are not paying rent. Some - actually most - ends up paying their renters to make them move out. Maybe these regulations are more the issue than the assumed laziness of landlords.

- enraged_camel 10y agoHow do the rest handle it?
- hackermailman 10y agoLoopholes, like renoviction, though there's the "winter truce" meaning nobody can be evicted from Oct 15 until April 1. Look how long this process is, roughly a few years before you can even think about calling the police to evict them https://www.french-property.com/guides/france/working-in-france/letting-property/legal-proceedings/possession-proceedings/ https://www.french-property.com/guides/france/working-in-fra...
- paulddraper 10y agoSo...how exactly do the rest handle it? By not renting the property in the first place?
- VLM 10y agolandlords gotta landlord, LOL. They just charge insane rent to the people how actually pay, just like any other insurance scheme, essentially.

- camus2 10y agoThis is definitely an issue. Even I who is left leaning think it shouldn't be the case.It makes things hard for both the owners and those who seek an accommodation, especially minorities. Owners now ask for crazy guarantees. Imagine you're 40 with an IT job and house owners still ask for your parents to guarantee the rent will be paid! Bad tenants should definitely be easier to evict. In some parts of the world, if you're 24 hours late paying the rent you can get evicted manu militari, in France, it can take years. Frankly anybody who is airbnb'ing his house or apartment in France is playing with fire. He could be stuck with squatters for years, there is nothing he could do about it.
- hackermailman 10y agoThe cost of landlord insurance to protect against delinquent tenants is surely passed on to renters though, driving up the rents as well and maybe contributing to the empty homes problem as nobody can afford to live there. Vancouver has bypassed the lengthy process of eviction and limits on rent increases with landlords now forcing you to sign yearly contracts with clauses that specify you agree to move out on the day the lease expires, so they can increase the rent however much they wish or toss you out more easily. I have yet to find anywhere that doesn't dangle this yearly lease scheme so I have to now plan a vacation week around lease negotiation time in case they skyrocket it and I'm forced to move.
