Benchmark Rent Index: What Increase in Q1 2023?

Reminder

Thearticle 12 of law no. 2022-1158 of 16 august 2022 on emergency measures for the protection of purchasing power provides that for the setting of rental benchmarks between 3^e quarter of the year 2022 and 2^e in the quarter of 2023, the increase in the benchmark rent index shall not exceed:

• 3.5% in mainland France;
• 2 % in Corsica;
• 2.5% overseas.

Rents will not be allowed to increase above these percentages set during the application of the "rent shield" until June 30, 2023.

As far as the Corsican community is concerned, it is theOrder No. R20-2022-10-11-00012 published in the Code of Administrative Acts of the Prefecture of Corsica, which stipulates that the change in the benchmark rent index may not exceed 2% between 3^e quarter of 2022 and 2^e quarter 2023.

FYI  

Without the capping measures, the benchmark rent index would be 142.32, an increase of 6.26 per cent year-on-year. The non-capped IRL is given by Insee as an indication and cannot be used in the context of the revision of a dwelling rent.

Please note

The rent of a dwelling subject to the 1948 Law is reassessed each year according to specific rules not related to the IRL.
