The new rent benchmark (IRL) was published on 13 July 2021 by the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE). The index of 2e quarter 2021 now stands at 131.12, representing an annual increase of 0.42%. As a reminder, it increased by 0.09% to 1er quarter 2021.
The IRL sets the annual rent increase ceilings that landlords may charge their tenants when the lease includes an annual rent review clause.
It applies to furnished and unfurnished residential leases.
The IRL is the average change in the consumer price index (CPI) excluding tobacco and rent over the last 12 months.
FYI
The rent of a dwelling subject to the 1948 Law is reassessed each year according to specific rules not related to the IRL.
