How to sign an Anah agreement for a rental unit?
Verified 07 March 2019 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
An individual wishing to rent a dwelling may sign an agreement with theAnah: titleContent to benefit from tax reductions on rental income received. If work is required to make the dwelling habitable, it may sign a agreement with works, which entitles it to financial assistance to carry them out. In return, it undertakes to respect several constraints, especially when choosing the tenant.
Convention without work
The agreement allows the owner of the dwelling to obtain a tax deduction on rental property income, depending on the location of the dwelling and the level of rent set in the agreement (intermediate, social or very social rent).
In addition, if the owner uses social rental intermediation, he may receive a premium of €1,000, provided that the rent is a social or very social rent, until 31 December 2022.
Please note
the accommodation agreed with the Anah cannot be a furnished accommodation, unless the owner uses the rental intermediation.
In return, the agreement requires the owner to:
- one maximum rent (intermediate, social or very social)
- a residential rental only (the dwelling must be the main residence tenant)
- restrictions in choice of tenant (the owner's next of kin cannot be a tenant, the selected tenant must respect an income ceiling defined in the agreement)
Furthermore:
- only Anah social rent or very social rent agreements are eligible Personalized Housing Assistance (LPA) for tenant
- when the landlord wants to give notice (leave) to the tenant during the agreement period, special conditions apply,
- when the tenant leaves the dwelling during the period of agreement, the dwelling must be re-rented under the same conditions, within a maximum period of 1 year after notification of the tenant's notice (leave).
The steps to be taken depend on several criteria:
- the situation of the dwelling (unoccupied or already inhabited by a tenant),
- and rent level which you wish to apply ("social or very social", "intermediate").
