National platform
Strasbourg stays at the national 120-day cap. Since February 1, 2026, compensation is mandatory in the enlarged city center. 80% minimum residential use per building (up from 60%). "Commerciality" rights can be purchased for compensation.
If Catherine Trautmann wins (most likely scenario per polls), a 90-day reduction is possible but not certain.
Both leading candidates (Barseghian and Trautmann) favor rent control. Its adoption is likely regardless of the result.
Catherine Trautmann (PS) leads significantly in polls against incumbent Barseghian (EELV). A mayor change is likely, but both favor regulation.
Last updated: February 2026. Check sources for the most recent information.
It's possible but not a priority. Both favorites (Barseghian and Trautmann) are pro-regulation, but the reinforced compensation since February 2026 is the current measure. The move to 90 days could come later.
