Within one month, you must complete the questionnaire and provide the following documents:

- If necessary, Mobility Inclusion Card marked invalidity.
For example, for overrents due from 1er january 2025, the survey is conducted in 2024 and tenants must provide the 2024 tax notice (covering their 2023 revenues).
On the basis of this information, the lessor calculates the amount of the overrent due. It provides you with information to verify the amount of overrent charged.
Please note
The landlord is not obliged to send you the resources survey if you are receiving housing assistance (APL: titleContent, ALF: titleContent or SLA: titleContent).

Your landlord will apply a new overrent amount if you respond to 2 following conditions :
- Your resources of year N or your resources for the past 12 months are at least 10% less than those for year N-1
- You ask him to do so in support of supporting documents.

When the people housed change
If the composition of your family changes (for example, the birth of a child), you can tell your landlord to recalculate the amount of your overrent. To do this, you must provide at least one supporting document.
The new overrent amount will be applicable from the month following the month in which the change occurred, provided that you submit the supporting documents within 3 months after this event.

Calculation Rule
The overrent is calculated with the following figures:
- Living area of the dwelling (SH) in m2
- Coefficient for exceeding the limit on resources allocated to social rental housing (CDPR).
- Amount in euros per m² of living area entitled base rent supplement (SLR). This amount shall be determined according to the geographical area of location of the dwelling.

Resource Ceiling Overflow Factor Value
Depending on the geographic area of your dwelling, the CDPR value to be applied may be different from the general CDPR value. Check with your landlord.
Example :
Your revenues exceed the resource limit by 22%, the calculation of the CDPR is as follows:
- On the 20 % exceedance band: 0,27
- On the 21% to 59% exceedance band: 0.06 x 2 (i.e. 0.06 for 21 and 0.06 for 22)
- A total of: 0.27 + (0.06 x 2) = 0.39.
