The National Agency for Information on Housing (Anil) deals in 2021 with more than 50,000 unpaid rent files. Individuals who call on this organization are often in a precarious situation. Including among the owners.
Unpaid rents remain a major problem in France. In 2021, 50,144 people consulted a departmental section of Anil, the National Agency for Information on Housing, for non-payment of rent, according to a report published Thursday June 23 and relayed by The echoes. This is certainly less than in 2020, a year during which 53,000 consultations had been recorded. But that’s a 6% increase from 2019.
Another finding of this report: individuals who contact the Adil (departmental sections) for unpaid bills are more precarious than before. In 2021, 26% of them touched the social minima. This share was 22% in 2020, and 24% in 2019. And this trend does not only affect tenants. The donors consulting the Adil are […] concerned by this precariousness, in the same way as the tenants, indicates the organization.
