November is here! And we might as well tell you right away that November has a number of changes in store for us, including the revaluation of pensions, the coming into force of the winter truce, chains and winter tires becoming compulsory in certain French regions, and the increase in Disney + prices... Together, we discover the changes and new features that await you in France from this Wednesday, November 1, 2023.
Winter truce: what are your rights? From November 1 to March 31, 2024, the winter truce takes effect. This means that landlords will not be able to evict their tenants, even in the event of consecutive non-payments. However, there are exceptions: some people may be rehoused, while others may face court orders. At the end of this truce, if no solution is found, eviction proceedings may be resumed.
In addition, during this period, it is strictly forbidden to cut off gas or electricity supplies.
Motorists, watch your equipment!
If you're driving in France's mountainous regions, such as the Alps or Massif Central, remember to fit your vehicle with winter tires or chains until March 31, 2024. This will improve road safety and prevent road blockages in the mountains.
Good news for private-sector pensioners
As of November 1, the supplementary pension for private-sector employees has been increased by 4.9%. This increase is in line with the inflation forecast for 2023.
Changes in the gas sector
Following the abolition of TVRs in July 2023, the reference sales price of natural gas for private customers rose to €91.04/MWh in November. A consequence of the rise in gas prices this autumn.
Out-of-court settlement: a new feature
From November 1, in the event of a dispute, a judge will be able to summon the parties to an out-of-court settlement hearing, offering a more peaceful alternative to conventional legal proceedings.
Disney+ adjusts its pricing structure
Following its announcement last August, Disney+ is unveiling its new offers as of November 1. The single package has been replaced by three new ones: Standard with ads, Standard and Premium. Interestingly, prices have increased across the board.
New Disney+ rates:
The month of November is rich in changes, affecting various aspects of our daily lives. Whether it's your rights as a tenant, your driving in the mountains, your retirement or your evenings in front of Disney+, we hope you're now well informed. Stay on your toes and adjust to these new developments!
