In case of unpaid payments, social support may take place earlier

New rules allow a social and financial diagnosis to be carried out earlier in order to guide the tenant before expulsion. The aim is to examine the situation and possible aid before waiting for a judicial stage.

From news to action

Who is concerned

Tenants who encounter payment difficulties and their families; the procedure does not automatically clear the debt and does not cancel an expulsion.

What to do

Don't wait for a judicial summons: write to the landlord and contact a social worker or a housing service in your municipality.

Background

Social and financial diagnosis is used to examine income, debt and possible support before the judicial expulsion phase. CCAPEX is a departmental commission that coordinates the prevention of unpaid payments and evictions.

Why it's important

Early contact can facilitate a schedule or assistance and shows that the debt is being covered. The proceedings do not erase the debt and do not cancel an expulsion already initiated.

What Changes

The main change: when the lessor is an individual or a family SCI, the social and financial diagnosis is now carried out as soon as the command to pay, and not only in the legal proceedings; it is also transmitted to the CCAPEX as soon as it is completed and updated with each update.

Useful details

  • Solutions may include a schedule, financial assistance or support.
  • Keep the lease, mail and proof of payment.
  • Ask the social worker to confirm the procedure and the documents to be provided.
