- Or in the same group of buildings
- In any other group of buildings with similar characteristics and located in the same geographical area
Please note
these rent references are available on the rent observatory.
In case of disagreement or in the absence of a response from the tenant or the owner to the request for a revaluation of the rent, either must enter, 4 months before the end of the lease, the Departmental Conciliation Commission (CDC).
If the disagreement persists despite the action of the CDC, the protection litigation judge can be entered before the end of the lease.

How do I apply the new rent?
When a new rent is decided by the tenant and landlord or by the judge, it applies gradually from the renewal of the lease.
The rent increase is spread out:
- For a 3-year lease, 1/3 per year (or 1/6 per year if the rent increase is greater than 10%)
- For a 6-year lease, 1/6 per year
Example :
For a lease is 3 years, the last monthly rent (excluding charges and excluding 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 is €50 monthly
- This increase is less than 10% of rent, car 600 X 10% = €60, then its application will be 1/3 per year.
- Monthly rent will be increased on the 1re year €16.67 per month €50 x 1/3 = €16.67 ), then 2e year €33.33 per month €50 x 2/3 = €33.33), and 3e year €50 per month.
However, the proposed increase shall not exceed the greater of the following 2 limits:
- 50% the difference between the rent corresponding to the rents charged in the neighbourhood for comparable housing and the last rent applied to the tenant before the renewal of the lease (possibly revised if this had not been done within the last 12 months)

In case of disagreement or in the absence of a response from the tenant or the owner to the request for a revaluation of the rent, either must enter, 4 months before the end of the lease, the Departmental Conciliation Commission (CDC).
If the disagreement persists despite the action of the CDC, the protection litigation judge can 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 under the previous terms of the rent. However, if the old rent has not been revised in the previous 12 months, the landlord may revise to fix the new rent.
How do I apply the new rent?
When a new rent is decided by the tenant and landlord or by the judge, it applies gradually from the renewal of the lease.
The rent increase is spread out:
- For a 3-year lease, 1/3 per year (or 1/6 per year if the rent increase is greater than 10%)
- For a 6-year lease, 1/6 per year
Example :
For a lease is 3 years, the last monthly rent (excluding charges and excluding 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 is €50 monthly
- This increase is less than 10% rent, car €600 x 10% = €60, then its application will be 1/3 per year.
- Monthly rent will be increased on the 1re year €16.67 per month €50 x 1/3 = €16.67 ), then 2e year €33.33 per month €50 x 2/3 = €33.33), and 3e year €50 per month.
However, the proposed increase shall not exceed the greater of the following 2 limits:
- 50% the difference between the rent corresponding to the rents charged in the neighbourhood for comparable housing and the last rent applied to the tenant before the renewal of the lease (possibly revised if this had not been done within the last 12 months)
- An increase in the annual rent equal to 15% the actual cost of work done since the last renewal of the lease (improvement work or upgrading work), where the amount of such work is at least equal to the amount of the last year of rent.
Action on rent reduction
If the basic rent (excluding charges and excluding rent supplement) included in the lease is greater than the reference rent plus, the tenant can ask the landlord for a reduction in the basic rent.
The following 2 conditions must be met:
- The tenant applies at least 5 months before the lease term
- The increased reference rent taken into consideration is that in force on the date of application
Please note

If no agreement is reached in spite of the action taken by the CDC, the tenant may seize the protection litigation judge before the lease expires.
