Vincent Jeanbrun (French pronunciation: [vɛ̃sɑ̃ ʒɑ̃bʁɛ̃]; born 5 May 1984) is a French politician who has served as Minister of the City and Housing since 12 October 2025. A former member of The Republicans (LR), from which he was expelled for joining the second Lecornu government following the party's refusal to participate, Jeanbrun previously served as mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses (2014–2024) and represented the 7th constituency of Val-de-Marne in the National Assembly (2024–2025).
Political career
Career in regional politics
Active within the youth wing of the Union for a Popular Movement, Jeanbrun ran in 2011 for the General Council of Hauts-de-Seine in the now-former canton of Nanterre-Sud-Est, placing fifth in the first round. In 2012, he became a parliamentary assistant to Valérie Pécresse.[1]
In 2014, Jeanbrun was elected mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses.[1] He was reelected in 2020.[2][3] In the 2015 departmental elections, he was elected to the Departmental Council of Val-de-Marne for the canton of L'Haÿ-les-Roses, a seat he held from April until his resignation the following December, when he was elected to the Regional Council of Île-de-France, where he was elected president of the majority coalition group in 2021.[4]
Member of the National Assembly, 2022–2025
In the 2022 legislative election, Jeanbrun contested the 7th constituency of Val-de-Marne but came in third in the first round, behind Rachel Keke and Roxana Maracineanu.[5] In the 2024 snap election, he contested the seat again, this time winning by 545 votes, scoring 50.67% of the second-round vote against Keke.
In parliament, Jeanbrun served on the Committee on Foreign Affairs from 2024 to 2025.[6]
In The Republicans' 2025 leadership election, Jeanbrun endorsed Laurent Wauquiez to succeed Éric Ciotti as the party's new chair and joined his campaign team.[7]
Later in 2025, he was appointed Minister of the City and Housing in the second government of Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu,[8] leading to him being suspended from The Republicans, which refused to enter the government.
Housing policy and the Jeanbrun scheme
As Minister of the City and Housing, Jeanbrun's principal legislative achievement was the introduction of a new private rental investment incentive known as the statut du bailleur privé (private landlord status), also referred to as the dispositif Jeanbrun. The measure was enacted through the Finance Act for 2026 (loi n° 2026-103 of 19 February 2026), adopted by the National Assembly on 16 January 2026 and in force from 21 February 2026 until 31 December 2028.[9][10]
The Jeanbrun mechanism differs fundamentally from its predecessor, the Pinel scheme, which expired on 31 December 2024 and operated through a direct, fixed tax reduction. The Jeanbrun scheme instead allows landlords to deduct an annual fiscal amortisation of between 3.5% and 5.5% of 80% of the acquisition value of a qualifying residential property from their rental income, generating a déficit foncier (property income deficit) chargeable against total household income. This deficit is capped at €10,700 per year for new-build properties and at €21,400 for substantially renovated ones. Three categories of rental commitment (intermediate, social, and very social) correspond to progressively higher amortisation rates in exchange for progressively lower, capped rents.[10][11][12]
The scheme applies to properties in housing-tension zones A bis, A, B1 and B2, covering the principal agglomerations of metropolitan France, and requires a minimum nine-year rental commitment. Jeanbrun stated that the device was designed to generate approximately 50,000 additional housing units per year.[10] The reform attracted criticism from some architects and urban planners, who argued that a construction-led incentive risked compromising building quality standards.[13]
Personal life
Jeanbrun is the son of a delivery driver and an Italian stay-at-home mother. He grew up in a social housing project in L'Haÿ-les-Roses.[14]
On 2 July 2023, his home was attacked during the Nahel Merzouk riots; one of his two children and his wife were injured as they fled the building.[15][16]
