Article R434-19 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

Specifically authorised officials from the local authority’s social affairs or housing departments or, at the request of the mayor, officials from the French Office for Immigration and Integration may visit the accommodation, if available, to check that it meets the minimum conditions of comfort and habitability. This visit must be authorised in writing by the applicant when the application is submitted. If the occupant refuses, the housing conditions are deemed not to have been met.
