Anah Convention: What does rental intermediation bring to the owner?

Verified 17 October 2023 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

You own and want to secure and simplify your relationships with your tenants? Rental intermediation is a device that can meet your expectations. It can also allow you to benefit from a tax reduction and a rental intermediation premium, under certain conditions.

This is one of the ways in which the relationship between the landlord and the tenant is managed.

Indeed, if you own a rental unit to become the tenant's main residence, you can choose:

  • Either assume (on-line) the rental management (write rent receipts, collect rents...)
  • Either to entrust the rental management to a commercial real estate agency or a notary
  • Or to use leasehold intermediation, i.e. entrusting the rental management to a social real estate agency, or to take as tenant a State-approved body who will sublet the housing.

Missions

The agency is responsible for rental management, including:

  • Put you in touch with the future tenant, who will use the accommodation as the main residence.
  • Write the lease, which you and the tenant will sign
  • Perform an entry and exit inventory with the tenant
  • Collect rent and expenses on your behalf

    • The organization becomes your tenant.

    He subleases the accommodation to a person in precarious circumstances. In particular, it shall be responsible for:

  • Choose the person who will use the home as their primary residence. This person is provided with social support.
  • Pay rent and expenses
  • Perform routine maintenance and minor repairs (not normal dilapidation)
  • Rehabilitate the dwelling, when the dwelling occupant degrades it

    • Guarantee of payment of rent

    The agency can offer you a rent guarantee (visual guarantee)

    The organization pays you rent and expenses, including the time between the departure of the previous occupant and the arrival of the next occupant

    Social support

    When you sign an Anah agreement at a social rent level (loc2) or very social (loc3) and you use rental intermediation, you can receive a rental intermediation premium (RBP) if you:

    • If you rent the accommodation to a registered organization that subleases the accommodation, the premium is €1,000.
    • If you entrust the rental management to a social real estate agency, the amount of the premium depends on the area of the housing.
      For a dwelling of more than 40 m², the premium is €2,000.
      For a dwelling of 40 m² or less, the premium is €3,000.

    In order to receive this premium, you must provide the Anah with the specific commitment form when you apply for a social rent agreement (loc2) or at very social rent (loc3):
