The Glossary of the service-public.fr website gives us the definition of the Tense Area. It consists of “municipalities characterized by a significant imbalance between the supply of and demand for housing, resulting in difficulties in accessing housing in the existing residential stock”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will also potentially have consequences on the rent. Indeed, you will have to respect the rules of the rent control<\/strong> and will be subject to the Tax on Vacant Dwellings (TLV) as a landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
