For him, inflation changed the situation. The Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, opened the door, Tuesday September 26, to a postponement of the timetable for the ban on the rental of housing considered to be “thermal sieves”, from 2025.
“I consider that everything that was decided before the rate hike (of interest) deserves to be looked at again in the light of this crisis. What was possible when money was available becomes impossible with rates this high. We have to be very pragmatic and see if we can shift the calendars.”declares the minister, in an interview with readers of the Parisian. “I am a member of a government, so I am united. But personally, I am very in favor of it, particularly for co-ownerships.” he adds.
The “Climate and Resilience” law, promulgated on August 24, 2021, provides for a ban on the rental of housing classified “G” from January 1, 2025, then in 2028 of those classified “F” by the new energy performance diagnosis ( DPE). “When we increase by 1.6 billion euros the credits dedicated to the renovation of housing in the 2024 budget, it is to support these owners. Afterwards, I wonder: can this so-called DPE classification not not be improved?”underlines Bruno Le Maire. “With my colleague from the Ecological Transition Christophe Béchu, we are ready to open this debate”assures the Minister of Finance.
