Rental Reports

Rent framework: the scheme is extended until July 2025

Publié le 02 août 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

The rent guidelines apply in municipalities in tense areas. It limits the increase in certain rents when a lease is renewed or a new lease is made. The scheme shall be renewed annually; its previous period of application was from 1er August 2023 to July 31, 2024. It was renewed for one year, until 31 July 2025.

In municipalities where the number of dwellings offered for rent is much lower than the number of people wishing to become tenants, landlords must respect a framework for the evolution of rents, whether the dwelling offered is bare or furnished. To find out if the device applies in your municipality, you can use this simulator.

The rent guidelines, which have been extended until the end of July 2025, are implemented when a lease is rehired or renewed. Thus, when a new rental is made after less than 18 months of vacancy of a dwelling, as a general rule the rent of the new contract cannot be higher than that applied to the previous tenant; the landlord can increase the rent only in certain cases.

On the other hand, when the dwelling is rented for the first time, the landlord freely sets the rent.

You can find all the modalities of the device on our factsheet “What is the rent control to respect in tense areas?”.

FYI  

Not all types of dwellings are covered by the rent framework. Some are subject to other rules, including the following:

social housing (low-cost housing) ;

accommodation contracted by the Anah (excluding intermediate rent agreements) ;

the furnished tourist areas ;

dwellings subject to the 1948 law.

Please note

A distinction must be made between the framework and the trend in rents and the rent level framework.

The second system was introduced on an experimental basis by the Law on Development and Digital Housing (Elan). In the territories to which it applies, the rent per square meter of the dwellings may not exceed a certain ceiling fixed by prefectural decree.
