Anah: rent ceilings in 2023
Published on 1 January 2023
Amounts not to be exceeded to fix the rent of a contracted accommodation Anah put up for rent in 2023 are now known.
This page is being updated.
The owner of a dwelling contracted with the National Housing Agency (Anah) must set the initial rent in accordance with a maximum amount indicated in the agreement. As a matter of principle, this amount is lower than the market price. It is reviewed annually on the basis of the benchmark rent index (IRL). During the lease, the landlord may revise the rent each year on the basis of the IRL. When the lease is renewed, the landlord can reassess the rent.
The initial rent of a accommodation with the Anah shall not exceed a maximum amount per month and per m2 fiscal habitable surface area.
The fiscal living area shall be equal to the total of:
- the living space
- and half of the area of the annexes for the exclusive use of the tenant (cellar, balcony...), within the limit of 8 m2.
The maximum amount per month and per m2 depends on the agreement signed (very social rent, social rent or intermediate rent) and the location (area, Abis, A, B1, B2 or C) of the dwelling.
A simulator is available to know the area of your accommodation:

To calculate the revised rent, the landlord must know the following information:
- Rent amount excluding charge (L)
- Last IRL value (I) corresponding to the reference quarter provided for in the lease (if the lease does not specify it, the last IRL known at the time of signing the lease is used as a reference)
- IRL value for the same quarter of the previous year (R)
The calculation to be made is as follows: (L x I) / R = new rent.
If the landlord feels that the rent is undervalued compared to rents in the neighborhood, he can revalue it. But the landlord cannot charge rent that exceeds the maximum amount provided for in the agreement. This amount is reviewed every 1er January on the basis of the benchmark rent index (IRL).
In the event of a change of tenant during the term of the agreement, the rent must not exceed the maximum amount indicated in the agreement. This amount is reviewed every 1er January on the basis of the benchmark rent index (IRL).
The lease in progress at the termination date of the agreement shall continue on the same terms (annual review based on IRL).
However, at the end of the lease, the landlord can renew it at a rent higher than that set by the agreement.
This offer must be made to the tenant at least 6 months before the end of the lease by one of the following means:
- By registered letter with notice of receipt, by act of commissioner of justice (formerly act of bailiff)
- Hand delivered against receipt
- Signature at least 6 months before the end of the lease
The proposed rent should refer to rents usually found in the neighborhood for comparable dwellings.
It must contain rental references:
- 6 references minimum if the dwelling is located in a municipality forming part of a conurbation of more than 1 million inhabitants,
- 3 references if the dwelling is located in other geographical areas.
If the proposed rent increase is less than or equal to 10% of the old rent, so the increase is spread out in thirds over three years.
If the proposed rent increase is more than 10% of the old rent, so the increase will have to be spread out by sixth over 6 years.
