Energy renovation: expansion of MaPrimeRenovation' beneficiaries

Since 1^er January 2020, the State proposes MaPrimeRenovate' to help households finance energy retrofits in their homes.

So far reserved for small and very modest owner-occupiers, this aid is now accessible to all owner-occupiers, without means test, and applies to premium applications submitted to the National Housing Agency (ANAH) as of 1^er January 2021.

MaPrimeRénov' is also open since 1^er January 2021 to all condominiums (including those not in a fragile situation). It simplifies the financing of works by means of a single collective aid paid to the condominium owners' union, irrespective of the individual circumstances of the condominiums.

From 1^er in july 2021, landlords can apply for a premium. The purpose of this premium is to encourage the energy renovation of housing in the private rental stock. However, they will have to commit to:

• setting limits on the increase in rent, i.e. deducting the amount of the premium from the amount of the work justifying the possible revaluation of the rent;
• inform their tenant of the performance of work financed by the premium and of the deduction of the amount of this premium from any rent increase resulting therefrom.

The minimum rental period of 5 years as principal residence for the tenant of the dwelling starts from the date of payment of

MaPrimeRenovate'

and not on the date on which the lease takes effect.

Since 1^er july 2021, usufructuaries (occupiers or lessors) may also benefit from

MaPrimeRenovate'

. Work carried out in anticipation between 1^er january and june 30, 2021 by those persons shall be eligible for the premium from 1^er July 2021.

Work for which a quotation has been signed as from 1^er October 2020.

There are also plans:

• a bonus to speed up the processing of

  heat strainers

  (energy-intensive housing units F or G);
• an incentive for wealthier households to carry out comprehensive renovations of their dwellings which allow more than 55% ;
• a Low-Energy Building (BBC) bonus to reward the achievement of the energy label B or A;
• support for households with the creation of an Assistance à Maîtrise d'Oeuvre (AMO) package.

The ANAH shall not pay the premium where its amount is less than €80.
