Unfit housing is housing that is in serious disrepair and may affect the health of the occupants or neighbours.\u00a0Insalubrity is an extreme case and should not be confused with indecent or dilapidated housing.<\/strong><\/p>

1. Poor maintenance
<\/strong><\/h3>

The tenant is responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the property. The owner cannot be held responsible for poor maintenance of the property.<\/p>

2. Repairs to be paid by the tenant<\/strong><\/h3>

All minor repairs and routine maintenance are the responsibility of the tenant (decree no. 87-712 of 26 August 1987).<\/p>

3. Indecent housing
<\/strong><\/h3>

The indecency of a dwelling is a matter for the contractual relationship between the landlord and the tenant. The concept of decency is assessed in terms of the dwelling's compliance with minimum standards of comfort and equipment, as well as health and safety (decree no. 2002-120 of 30 January 2002). Disputes relating to decency are dealt with by the district court. At the tenant's request, the district court assesses whether the property is not fit for habitation, and determines the nature of the work to be carried out and the deadline for completion. It is up to the tenant to prove that the property is not fit for habitation by any means.<\/p>

4. Lack of hygiene and cleanliness in the home
<\/strong><\/h3>

As part of his general policing powers (article L.2212-2 of the General Code of Local Authorities), the mayor is required to intervene to ensure the safety of his municipality and compliance with the Departmental Health Regulations (RSD 3.26 Mo).<\/p>

5. Insalubrity<\/strong><\/h3>

The unhealthiness of a dwelling is defined primarily in terms of the danger to the health of its occupants or neighbours, due to the extent of the deterioration of the dwelling and\/or the lack of interior equipment essential for normal use of the premises (heating, electricity, drinking water, sanitary facilities, etc.). Insalubrity is assessed on a case-by-case basis according to precise criteria and following a procedure detailed in the Public Health Code: articles L.1331-26 to L.1331-31.<\/p>

In cases 3 and 4, we advise you to initiate mediation with your landlord. The ADIL (available at the Mairie) or the CNL can also help. If your landlord does not respond to your repeated requests, legal proceedings may then be brought before the appropriate court.<\/p>

In cases 5 and 6, the Municipal Hygiene and Health Department may intervene after a report has been made.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is a building in danger of collapse?<\/strong><\/h3>

Buildings in danger of collapse are\u00a0buildings that \"do not offer the guarantees of solidity required to maintain public safety\".<\/strong>\u00a0(article L.511-1 of the French Construction and Housing Code). These are buildings where the structure has become unstable due to a construction defect or advanced age: major cracks in a wall, a ceiling threatening to collapse, etc.<\/p>

Buildings that are in danger of falling into disrepair are dangerous for the safety of occupants and local residents.<\/p>

The actions of the Housing and Property Management department
<\/strong><\/h3>

If there is a suspicion that a building is at risk, the health inspector from the housing and property management department will visit the site as soon as possible to assess the condition of the building. If the risk is confirmed, there are two possible options:
- imminent peril
- ordinary peril<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is carbon monoxide?
<\/strong><\/h3>

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas produced by poor combustion in your water heater or certain heating appliances: oil or gas space heaters, stoves, generators, fireplaces, etc.
It is odourless, invisible and non-irritating, but it is toxic and sometimes fatal.<\/p>

Carbon monoxide poisoning causes a variety of symptoms, depending on the individual and the level of poisoning:
- mild\" intoxication: headaches, dizziness, nausea, vomiting
- chronic intoxication: weakness, shortness of breath, mental confusion, heart problems<\/p>

And in the most serious cases: loss of consciousness, brain damage... and death.<\/strong><\/p>

In pregnant women, exposure to carbon monoxide can cause foetal death or malformations of the skeleton and nervous system.<\/p>
