Yes, the owner of a dwelling with theAnah: titleContent may not exceed a maximum amount at the time of signing the lease. This maximum amount is lower than the market price. During the lease, the landlord can revise the rent each year according to the evolution of the propertyIRL: titleContent. When the lease is renewed, the landlord may reassess the rent, subject to certain conditions.
The amount of the initial rent (excluding charges) not to be exceeded depends on the agreement signed with theAnah: titleContent and the location of the accommodation.
There are 3 types of agreement, depending on the rent to be applied:
- Intermediate rent agreement (loc1), with rent 15% below market rents
