Where the lease so provides, the rent of the dwelling may be adjusted each year by the value of the annual development of theIRL: titleContent.
For the revisions that will be made with the IRL published from October 2022 until April 2024, the increase will be capped (3.5% in mainland France, from 2% to 3.5% in Corsica, 2.5% overseas).
That's what it says article 12 of law no. 2022-1158 of 16 august 2022 on purchasing power.

You can know the previous IRLs and their previous annual developments.
Please note
The IRL is obtained from the average of the evolution of consumer prices excluding tobacco and rent over the last 12 months.
L'IRL: titleContent is used as a basis to revise the rent of an empty rented or furnished dwelling with a residential lease. The annual evolution of the LRI determines the maximum increase that the owner of the dwelling can apply to the rent for the year.
Index to consider
The IRL to be taken into account is different according to the type of dwelling:
Répondez aux questions successives et les réponses s’afficheront automatiquement
Private sector housing
The date of the IRL to be taken into account is the date indicated in the lease. This may be the annual end date of the lease or another date agreed between the landlord and the tenant.
If the date of the IRL to be considered is not indicated in the lease, the date of the last IRL published by theInsee: titleContent at the time of signing the lease.
Warning
- If a rent supplement applies, the amount of rent is equal to the total of the base rent and the rent supplement.
- For a furnished dwelling, if the charges are payable on a flat-rate basis, this amount can be revised each year according to the same rules as those for rent revision.
- For a home governed by the law of 1948 or contracted Anah , the rent review rules are specific.
Social housing (HLM)
The rent is reviewed every 1er January.
The date of the IRL taken into account is that of 2e prior year quarter:
- In 2023, rent is increased by 3.50%
- But, for 2024, the rent increase will be capped (3.5% in mainland 2% to 3.5% in Corsica, 2.5% in Guadeloupe, Guyana, Martinique, Reunion and Mayotte)
FYI
if the social landlord has done rehabilitation work, he can revise the rent differently, for a limited period of time.
Calculation
To calculate the rent revision, the landlord needs the following 3 elements:
- Rent amount
- New IRL for the reference quarter (as provided for in the lease or published by theInsee: titleContent at the time of signing the lease)
- IRL for the same quarter of the previous year.
The calculation consists of the following operation:
New rent = rent in progress x new IRL of the contract reference quarter / IRL for the same quarter of the previous year.
Example :
A lease signed on the 1ster September 2018, and fixing the monthly rent at €700, may be revised to 1er September 2019.
The last index published on the date of signature of the lease is that of 2e quarter 2018, 127.77.
The new index published on the revision date is 2e quarter 2019, 129.72.
At 1er september 2019, date of 1re revision, the amount of rent shall be calculated as follows: €700 x 129.72 / 127.77 = €710.68.
To do this calculation, you can use the following online service:
The owner can apply the annual rent review within one year of the date of the lease revision.
The rent review does not apply retroactively, but only from the date of the application.
When the one-year period has elapsed, the unapplied revision is lost for the owner.
Example :
If the review date is March 13, 2023, the landlord can review the rent until March 12, 2024.
However, if the landlord does not request it until June 13, 2023, only rents collected from that date can be reviewed.
