National platform
Nantes stays at the national 120-day cap for primary residences. Change of use is required for secondary residences. The rent control experimentation application was voted by city council in March 2025.
If Rolland is re-elected, rent control will be activated quickly. If the right wins, it could be abandoned.
Not yet in the programs, but the national trend pushes in this direction. Nantes could follow if other metros lead the way.
Only 6,560 housing units built during the 2020-2025 term (target: 8,000). Social housing applicants increased from 19,000 to 25,000.
Last updated: February 2026. Check sources for the most recent information.
The application was voted in March 2025. If Rolland is re-elected, activation is almost certain. If the right wins with Chombart de Lauwe, the system could be abandoned.
