With a tight real estate market and rising rents, finding housing is a real challenge in 2025. But did you know that if you are over 65 and have a modest income, the law protects you in particular in the event of termination of your lease? Unlike other tenants, you benefit from specific guarantees that prevent your eviction without a rehousing solution. Here is everything you need to know to assert your rights.
Landlords and tenants: what are the rules of the game?
French law strictly regulates the relationship between landlords and tenants. The main obligations are as follows:
The tenant must pay the rent and maintain the accommodation.
The landlord must provide decent housing and respect the terms of the lease.
But when the owner wants to get his property back (to live in, sell it or for another legitimate reason), he must respect a notice period and certain conditions… And this is where senior tenants benefit from a key advantage.
Special protection for elderly tenants
If you are 65 or over and your income is below a certain threshold, your landlord cannot give you notice without offering you a suitable alternative housing solution.
