Limited rents, public and cooperative housing and a guarantee fund: Deco's solutions for housing

The consumer association Deco has proposed 18 measures to the government to address the housing crisis, including a temporary three-year rent cap on new contracts in high-pressure areas and the creation of a Rent Guarantee Fund to cover up to six months of arrears for tenants in need. Other proposals include raising the annual IRS tax deduction for rents to 1,000 euros starting in 2027, creating mandatory mediation before evictions, and publishing a list of vacant state-owned properties slated for affordable housing.
