The Régie immobilière de la Ville de Paris (RIVP) is organizing the upcoming elections for tenant representatives, which will take place from November 12 to December 15, 2026. These elections are crucial as they allow tenants in subsidized social housing to designate their primary contacts with their landlord, a specific feature of social housing.
These representatives, elected for 4-year terms, will be tasked with defending the rights of HLM tenants within various landlord bodies, such as the board of directors, allocation committees, and the tenant consultation council. They will act as ambassadors to ensure residents' rights are upheld.
Their responsibilities will cover essential aspects of tenants' daily lives, including the management of rents and charges, maintenance and upkeep of properties, improvement of the living environment in residences, service quality, and the overall operation of the RIVP.
Any tenant residing in their dwelling for at least 6 weeks is eligible to vote. One vote is allocated per household. Candidates must join a tenant association to run for election.
A few days before the polls open, voters will receive their candidate list statements, ballot papers, materials for postal voting, and login credentials for online voting. It is essential to use the provided materials and follow the instructions for the vote to be counted. Votes received late or not in compliance with instructions may be invalidated.
