You can know the previous IRLs and their previous annual developments.
Please note
The IRL is obtained from the average of the evolution of consumer prices excluding tobacco and rent over the last 12 months.
L'IRL: titleContent is used as a basis to revise the rent of an empty rented or furnished dwelling with a residential lease. The annual evolution of the LRI determines the maximum increase that the owner of the dwelling can apply to the rent for the year.
The IRL to be taken into account is different according to the type of dwelling:

Private sector housing
The owner (or real estate agency) of a private-sector dwelling may revise the rent once a year if a clause in the lease so provides.
Warning
- In the metropolis, when the lease is signed, renewed or tacitly renewed since august 24, 2022, and it concerns a dwelling classified as F or G (classification indicated on the DPE: titleContent), it is forbidden to revise its rent.
- In Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Reunion and Mayotte, when the lease is signed, renewed or tacitly renewed since 1er july 2024, and it concerns a dwelling classified as F or G (classification indicated on the DPE: titleContent), it is forbidden to revise its rent.
The date of the IRL to be taken into account is the date indicated in the lease. This may be the annual end date of the lease or another date agreed between the landlord and the tenant.
If the date of the IRL to be considered is not indicated in the lease, the date of the last IRL published by theInsee: titleContent at the time of signing the lease.
Warning
- If a rent supplement applies, the amount of rent is equal to the total of the base rent and the rent supplement.
- For a furnished dwelling, if the charges are payable on a flat-rate basis, this amount can be revised each year according to the same rules as those for rent revision.
- For a home governed by the law of 1948 or contracted Anah , the rent review rules are specific.
To calculate the revision of the monthly rent amount, the landlord (or real estate agency) needs the following 3 elements:
- Current monthly rent amount
- IRL of the reference quarter (provided for in the lease or published by theInsee: titleContent at the time of signing the lease)
- IRL for the same quarter of the previous year.
The calculation consists of the following operation:
New rent = rent in progress x new lease quarter IRL / IRL for the same quarter of the previous year.
Example :
A lease signed in the metropolis on July 20, 2022, and fixing the monthly rent to €600may be revised on 20 July 2023.
The last index published on the date of signature of the lease is that of 2e quarter 2022 135.84.
The new index published on the revision date is 2e quarter 2023 140.59.
July 20, 2023, date of 1re rent revision, the new rent amount must be calculated as follows: €600 x 140.59 / 135.84 = €620.98.
FYI
The result of the calculation shall be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place.
To do this calculation, you can use the following simulator:
Social housing (HLM)
The rent is reviewed every 1er January.
The variation in IRL: titleContent taken into account is that of 2e quarter of the previous year.
FYI
If the social landlord has done rehabilitation work, he can revise the rent differently, for a limited period of time.
The 1er January of year N, in order to calculate the new rent to be applied, the social lessor needs the following 3 elements:
- Current monthly rent amount
- IRL of 2e quarter of year N-1
- IRL of 2e quarter of year N-2
The calculation consists of the following operation:
New rent = current rent amount x IRL of 2e quarter of year N-1 / IRL of 2e quarter of year N-2
Example :
For a lease signed in mainland France on March 9, 2023, setting the rent at €600, the social landlord may revise the rent for the 1re time on 1er January 2024 (year N).
To do this, it needs the following 3 elements:
- The current monthly rent, i.e. €600
- The IRL of the 2e quarter of year N-1, i.e. the IRL of 2e quarter 2023, 140.59
- The IRL of the 2e quarter of year N-2, i.e. the IRL of 2e quarter 2022, 135.84
The calculation is as follows:
New Rent = €600 x 140.59 / 135.84 =€620.98.
FYI
The result of the calculation shall be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place.
To do this calculation, you can use the following simulator:
The owner (or real estate agency) can apply the annual rent review within one year of the date of the lease revision.
The rent review does not apply retroactively, but only from the date of the application.
When the one-year period has elapsed, the unapplied revision is lost for the owner.
Example :
If the review date is March 13, 2024, the landlord can review the rent until March 12, 2025.
However, if the landlord does not request it until June 13, 2024, only rents collected from that date can be reviewed.
