Oh ok so you haven't rented in the current market. So actually it's you who doesn't understand eh?
Idk what you meant in that case by "eventual landlord", maybe try actually making sense first and then maybe you won't get name-called as much. ๐
From what I can tell, France still has essentially no-fault evictions and nowhere near sufficient renter protections, while there is a housing crisis going on. It's not anywhere near as bad as the UK, but given the regulations as I can see them, I wouldn't risk speaking out against the landlord in any capacity there either. This doesn't even touch the fact that France is also fairly centralised, in that job opportunities are richer closer to the city and the bigger the city, and Paris is even worse for living expenses overall than London.
That is totally right. I'm french. Laws protect renters, but not that much, and landlords don't hesitate to threaten with false pretense. And if you mention anything illegal they're doing, you simply won't have the apartment. They ask documents they have no right to see, but if you don't provide them they won't even look at your application. Obviously people of colour do have a harder time finding an apartment, but even for engineers it's hard to find one in a city.
Literally who is downvoting you? Are there landlords on fucking solarpunk memes?
