Cyril Messika and William Siksik, presidents of the National Federation of Real Estate, presented their wishes to the press.
The year 2019 turned out to be very fruitful for real estate. Nice and Antibes made strong sales performances, and prices did not increase much. The last two years have been exceptional, allowing for the hiring of people on permanent contracts. 2020 is expected to maintain this positive momentum.
However, it is important to consider the new economy, related to sites like Booking and Airbnb, which are in full expansion.
One of the issues for FNAIM this year will be Vesta. According to the organization, this protective goddess of the home should be mandatory for all professionals holding the card, allowing them to be more easily identified. Approximately 20,000 to 25,000 people could qualify for it.
The Nogal report has garnered significant attention with its two flagship measures on the “sanctuarization” of the rental deposit and on the mandatory personal rent guarantees by the property manager.
In response to this report, FNAIM has proposed several solutions, such as allowing tenants to get insured. However, the one that has generated the most discussion is the creation of a “white” list. Individuals known for not paying their rent would be listed. Unpaid rents of three months would be recorded and removed in case of payment. The list would not be permanent, and landlords could be reassured.
