Rising rental disputes and landlord risks
Overview
Landlords in Norway and France are experiencing an increase in rental-related challenges, including unpaid rent, property damage, and legal disputes.
In Norway, the Rent Disputes Tribunal reported a nearly 20 percent increase in cases, totaling 5,146 disputes. Insurance providers have warned that standard home insurance typically does not cover losses such as unpaid rent or tenant-caused property damage. Experts suggest background checks and thorough documentation to mitigate these risks.
In France, data indicates rising trends in rental debt and unpaid rent. Consultations regarding rental debt rose by 34 percent between 2022 and 2024, and formal notices to pay issued to tenants increased in 2025. To manage these risks, landlords are utilizing rent guarantee insurance and the Visale guarantee to cover unpaid charges.
