towards a record increase in rents in 2022?

The housing situation could be tight for some tenants. Expect rents to rise in 2022. Valuations could hit record highs. “It is even the largest increase since 2008 that is looming, since the creation of the benchmark rent index“, warns, Tuesday, April 19, the journalist David Boéri.

The benchmark “is calculated by INSEE based on inflation“, he specifies. The last index published on April 15 shows +2.48%. “This is unheard of !” assures David Boéri. Will all rents increase as a result? “No, it’s not systematic. This is actually the maximum allowable rise“, tempers the journalist. Thus, for a rent of 600 euros per month, an owner cannot exceed 614.88 euros. Note that the owner can increase his rent only once a year.
