in Mulhouse, administrative and financial support to fight against vacant housing

From the outside, the clues leave little room for doubt: closed shutters, dilapidated facades, dusty intercoms. To Mulhouse, 14% of private accommodation is empty, unoccupied for several years. A desolation against which the city is trying to fight. An old building has also remained vacant for a long time, practically unsanitary. But today, it is in full renovation, accompanied by the city of Mulhouse (Bas-Rhin).

Administrative support, but above all financial. In exchange, the owner undertakes to rent the eight apartments at moderate rents for nine years. A constraint compensated by a tax reduction of 70% on the rents collected. Essential incentives to recover rental housing. As a last resort, the city of Mulhouse also obtained the possibility of expropriating owners who refused to put their housing back on the market.
