The monthly rent will be increased on 1^re year of €16.67 per month (because €50 x 1/3 = €16.67 ), then 2^e year of €33.33 per month (because €50 x 2/3 = €33.33), and 3^e year of €50 per month.

However, the proposed increase must not exceed the higher of the following 2 limits:

How do I apply the new rent?

When a new rent is decided by the tenant and the landlord or by the judge, it applies progressively from the renewal of the lease:

For a 3-year lease, the rent increase is spread out by 1/3 per year (or 1/6 per year if the rent increase is greater than 10%)
For a 6-year lease, the rent increase is spread out by 1/6 per year

Example :

For a lease is 3 years, the last monthly rent (excluding expenses and rent supplement) applied to the tenant before the renewal of the lease is €600 and the new rent is €650 :

The increase to be applied shall be €50 monthly
This increase is less than 10% rent, because 600 X 10% = €60, so its application will be 1/3 per year.
The monthly rent will be increased on 1^re year of €16.67 per month (because €50 x 1/3 = €16.67 ), then 2^e year of €33.33 per month (because €50 x 2/3 = €33.33), and 3^e year of €50 per month.

However, the proposed increase must not exceed the higher of the following 2 limits:

50% the difference between the rent, which corresponds to the rents charged in the neighborhood for comparable dwellings, and the last rent applied to the tenant before the renewal of the lease (possibly revised if not done within the last 12 months)

The lease must indicate the following amounts:

Base rent (rent amount excluding charges and excluding charges) rent supplement)
Reference rent and the reference rent plus in force at the signing of the lease and according to the category of housing (location, number of rooms...)

The base rent (rent amount excluding charges and rent supplement) must not exceed reference rent plus in force at the signing of the lease.

You can find the reference rents using this simulator:

Common Plain Territory: Estimate reference rents (lease signed since June 2021)

If the base rent exceeds reference rent plus, the tenant may apply for a rent reduction before the Departmental Conciliation Committee (CDC) within 3 years of signing the lease.

Rent supplement

In which cases does a rent supplement apply?

The landlord can apply a rent supplement if the following 2 conditions are met:

The accommodation has particular characteristics (location, comfort)
The base rent (excluding expenses) is equal to reference rent plus

If a rent supplement applies, the rent is equal to the total of the base rent and the rent supplement.

The amount of the rent supplement and the characteristics of the dwelling that justify it must be indicated in the lease.

Warning

How do I challenge the rent supplement?

If the CDC reaches an agreement, the amount of rent shall be that fixed by the conciliation document issued by the CDC. This new amount applies from the effective date of the lease.

If the conciliator reaches an agreement, the rent shall be that fixed by the conciliation document issued by the conciliator. This new amount applies from the effective date of the lease.

Warning

A mobility lease cannot be renewed.

As the lease renewal approaches:

The owner can hire a rent revaluation share when the base rent (excluding charges and excluding rent supplement) is less than reduced reference rent
The tenant may hire a rent-reduction action, where the base rent is higher than reference rent plus

You can find the reference rents using this simulator:

Common Plain Territory: Estimate reference rents (lease signed since June 2021)

Rent revaluation action

On what terms?

The new rent (excluding expenses and excluding rent supplement) must not be greater than reduced reference rent in effect at the time the landlord informs the tenant. It is possible to know the reference rents.
When the renewal takes place from 24 August 2022, the dwelling must be classified A, B, C, D or E (classification indicated on the DPE: titleContent). From that date, the rent of a dwelling classified as F or G may not be increased.

How to inform the tenant?

Owner must send a notification to the tenant:

Either by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt
Either by act of commissioner of justice (formerly act of bailiff)
Either by hand delivery against receipt or signature

The notification shall contain the following:

Entire Article 140 VI of the Law of 23 November 2018
New rent amount proposed and reference rent reduced used to determine it

FYI

When the owner commits a rent revaluation share, he cannot give his notice (leave) to the tenant for the term of the lease.

How do I challenge the new rent?

The tenant can challenge the rent revaluation share.

To do this, it must provide the owner with 6 references of rent of comparable dwellings, located:

Either in the same group of buildings
In any other group of buildings with similar characteristics and situated in the same geographical area

These rental references are available on the website of the rent observatory in the greater paris area.

If the disagreement persists despite the CDC's action, the protection litigation judge may be entered before the end of the lease.

Warning

If the judge is not seized before the end of the lease, the lease is renewed at the previous terms of the rent (possibly revised if not done within the last 12 months).

How does the new rent apply?

When a new rent is decided by the tenant and landlord, or by the judge, it applies progressively from the renewal of the lease:

For a 3-year lease, the rent increase is spread out by 1/3 per year (or 1/6 per year if the rent increase is greater than 10%)
For a 6-year lease, the rent increase is spread out by 1/6 per year

Example :

For a 3-year lease, the last monthly rent (excluding charges and rent supplement) applied to the tenant before the renewal of the lease is €600, and the new rent is €650 :

The increase to be applied shall be €50 monthly
This increase is less than 10% rent, because €600 x 10% = €60, so its application will be 1/3 per year.
The monthly rent will be increased on 1^re year of €16.67 per month (because €50 x 1/3 = €16.67 ), then 2^e year of €33.33 per month (because €50 x 2/3 = €33.33), and 3^e year of €50 per month.

However, the proposed increase must not exceed the higher of the following 2 limits:

50% the difference between the rent which corresponds to the rents charged in the vicinity for comparable dwellings, and the last rent applied to the tenant before the renewal of the lease (possibly revised if not done within the last 12 months)
An increase in the annual rent equal to 15% the actual cost of the work done since the last lease renewal (improvement work or retrofitting work), where the amount of such work is at least equal to the amount of the last year's rent.

Rent reduction action

If the base rent (excluding charges and excluding rent supplement) indicated in the lease is higher than the reference rent plus, the tenant can ask the landlord for the reduction of the base rent.

The following 2 conditions must be met:

The tenant applies at least 5 months before the term of the lease
The reference rent plus the rent taken into consideration shall be that in force on the date of the application

You can find the reference rents using this simulator:

Common Plain Territory: Estimate reference rents (lease signed since June 2021)

The tenant must send his written request to the owner:

Either by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt
Either by act of commissioner of justice
Either by hand delivery against receipt or signature

The application shall contain the following elements:

Entire Article 140 VI of the Law of 23 November 2018
New rent amount proposed and increased base rent used to determine it

If the landlord refuses, or fails to respond to the tenant, the tenant must seize the Departmental Conciliation Committee (CDC) at the latest 4 months before the lease expires.

If the CDC fails to reach an agreement, the lessee may refer the matter to the protection litigation judge before the lease expires.

Warning

If the tenant does not bring the matter before the court within this period, the lease is renewed under the previous conditions of the rent (possibly revised if not done within the last 12 months).

The rent (excluding expenses) can consist of 2 elements: the base rent and one rent supplement.

Base rent

The base rent (excluding charges and excluding rent supplement) of a dwelling placed on the market after less than 18 months of vacancy may be increased in the following cases:

When it has not been revised in the previous 12 months
When it is undervalued
When work improvement or setting standards of decency have been made since the departure of the former tenant

But the new base rent must not exceed reference rent plus in force on the date of signature of the lease.

You can find the reference rents using this simulator:

Common Plain Territory: Estimate reference rents (lease signed since June 2021)

Unrevised rent

The amount of the new rent must not exceed the amount of the last rent applied to the previous tenant.

However, it may be increased by the annual variation of the IRL published on the date of signature of the new lease, if none revision has not intervened in the last 12 months.

In any case, the new rent shall not exceed reference rent plus in force on the date of signature of the lease.

You can find the reference rents using this simulator:

Warning

Undervalued rent

If the rent with the previous tenant was undervalued, the new rent can be increased.

How do I know if the old rent is undervalued?

You can estimate the undervaluation of a rent based on the rents usually recorded for comparable dwellings, located in the same geographical area. These rental references are available on the website of the rent observatory in the greater paris area.

How do I fix the new rent?

The following 2 rules must be respected:

1^re as a rule, the rent increase must not exceed 50% the difference between the following amounts:

Amount of rent determined by reference to rents in the neighborhood for comparable dwellings
Last rent applied to previous tenant, if applicable revised on IRL if not done in the last 12 months
