Social housing: can the landlord terminate the lease and evict the tenant?

Verified 24 July 2025 - Directorate of Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

You are a tenant of a social housing? Then you get a right to remain in the premises, i.e. your lease is for an unlimited period. But the landlord can terminate your lease and obtain your eviction from the housing, when you do not respect the rules or conditions to live in a social housing:

Failure to pay your rent and expenses on the scheduled date may result in the termination of your lease, after the decision of the judge.

Warning, expulsion can be automatic if a resolutive clause applies. In practice, this clause is mandatory in all signed leases since 29 july 2023, and it exists in most older contracts.

In the event of a resolution clause, the lessor first sends you a payment order. You have 6 weeks to pay.

After this period, if you have not paid, and your debt is less than or equal to €5,000, the lessor must initiate conciliation or mediation proceedings. If this procedure fails, he can then refer the matter to the judge. But if your debt is more than €5,000, the lessor may directly apply to the judge to have the lease terminated and order the eviction.

The judge may decide to grant you a payment period if you have resumed payment of the rent and if he believes that you are able to pay your debt. If you pay within the deadline, you can stay in the accommodation.

The rules are different depending on whether the neighborhood disturbances are related to drug trafficking or not:

Drug trafficking

The prefect can apply to the judge, or ask the social landlord to apply to the judge, to obtain the termination of your lease and your eviction from the dwelling when the following 2 conditions are met:

  • You're involved in drug trafficking
  • Your actions (behavior or activity) in connection with this traffic disturb public order in a serious and repeated way, and, in the vicinity of the housing or the real estate complex to which the housing belongs, cause nuisance (for example: infringement of the freedom to come and go) or endanger people or collective equipment.

Other case

If you are the cause of neighborhood disturbances, the landlord sends you a formal notice to comply with the obligation to use the rented premises peacefully. If you do not comply with this obligation, the lessor has the following 2 possibilities:

  • Either ask the judge for your eviction, without making you any offer of relocation
  • Either offer you a rehousing offer corresponding to your needs in order to bring calm in the building. In this case, he sends you this proposal by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. If you refuse or fail to respond after a period of one month, the landlord can ask the judge for your expulsion.

In any case, a period of 3 months must elapse between your assignment in court and the date of the hearing before the judge.

If your lease contains a resolutive clause (mandatory clause since July 29, 2023 and common in older rental contracts), the judge automatically orders your eviction. If your lease does not contain this clause, the judge can take your situation into account.

If the judge orders your eviction, you will have at least 2 months to leave the accommodation. However, if you have refused any proposals for relocation, the judge may reduce or eliminate this period of at least 2 months.

FYI  

If you are a victim of nuisance from another dwelling, you can inform the social landlord of the nuisance you are experiencing. If the lessor does not intervene, you must initiate a conciliation or mediation procedure, and then, if this procedure fails, you can subsequently summon the lessor before the court.

Every year, the landlord sends you a resources survey, to which you must respond.

Failure to respond to the resources survey may result in the termination of your lease, depending on the area of the municipality where your home is located.

Housing in zone B2 or C

If your accommodation is underoccupied, your landlord must offer you 3 new dwellings adapted to your needs, even if you exceed the income limits for the allocation of social housing.

These housing proposals must meet the following 3 characteristics :

  • Respect the criteria of decency
  • Have a lower rent than the accommodation you are leaving
  • Be located near the accommodation you are leaving. In Paris, Lyon and Marseille, the new accommodation must be located in the same district, or in a neighboring district that belongs or not to your municipality. If your municipality is divided into cantons, the new dwelling must be located in the same canton or in a neighboring canton that may or may not belong to your municipality. In all other cases, the new accommodation must not be located more than 5 km from the accommodation you are leaving.

Even if you refuse these 3 accommodations, the lessor cannot terminate your lease.

But if you accept one of these accommodations, the lessor assigns you a mobility aid, under the following conditions:

  • The landlord finances your move up to at least €1,000 and chooses the moving company. If you refuse this benefit, the lessor pays a lump sum of at least €400 to cover the cost of moving. This payment is made within one month of the keys of the old dwelling being handed over.
  • The costs associated with opening, closing or transferring subscriptions to the water, electricity, gas and telephone networks are covered by the lessor upon presentation of the supporting documents. The benefits covered correspond to those you had subscribed for your previous accommodation.
  • The security deposit is at most equal to the security deposit of the old dwelling. The costs of rental repairs are invoiced from the inventory of the exit made contradictorily during the handover of the keys of the old housing.
  • The landlord sets up social support, if necessary.
  • The new accommodation does not have the same level of quality as the old accommodation because of the work you have done or taken care of (including flooring, wall coverings, sanitary equipment ...). In this case, the landlord is upgrading the new dwelling. It does so at your request and before you move in, but up to a certain amount:
