Let's take the case of Lionel, a Guadeloupean student who came to study in the mainland and is therefore looking for an apartment because his parents, who were guarantors, lived in Guadeloupe.

From Lionel's case, the HALDE noted that this type of refusal was ultimately quite common.

They asked the government to amend the law.

That has been done.

From now on, the law expressly prohibits refusing a person rental because their parents reside overseas.
