This phenomenon particularly affects small areas : 80 % of the ads for apartments of less than 20 m2 would be illegal after Best agents, and for these small apartments, the difference between the rent regulation and rent asked is on average + 22 %, and sometimes much more. Owners can waive the rent if their housing has specific qualities. They can then impose a surcharge, but not sure that all of the homes not following the guidance justify an overrun.
