Today, spotlight on the annual study of the Clameur observatory on rents and charges.
The good news is that rents have remained stable despite inflation: +1.4% over the year 2022. We now have a fairly clear vision over 12 months and the beginning of the year does not show more explosions. It should be remembered that the government has introduced a ceiling, no more than 3.5% increase and that rent controls force landlords not to soar prices.
However, this stability of rents is a little less true in Rennes, Brest or on the Atlantic coast. But why?
"We have a rebound phenomenon due to urban migration, an exodus of retirees who have a purchasing capacity greater than premises and assets," according to Jean-Michel Camizon who led the study.
Is it easy to rent in France right now?
Not really, first of all, the new construction is broken. There is a shortage of 30,000 new homes for rent per year.
Then, there is not enough turnover in the old. Tenants remain clinging to their leases, because they can no longer buy because of soaring interest rates.
In addition, the difficulties are also piling up for tenants on the charge side. This is the consequence of energy prices, the price of renovation materials, the cost of renovations.
Co-ownership charges are exploding, and for Jean-Michel Camizon, we are only at the beginning of the story: "we will feel a violent increase in charges from March to June 2023, the closing of the accounts will see that the expenses were higher than what had been expected, we will have to make up the difference. The increase will be passed on to rents. »
An example to understand the problem of charges at the moment: "an elderly lady in a 2-room apartment with 750 euros of rent, the condominium had to renegotiate its gas contract, the amount of charges has increased, the receipt increases, she has moved to a rent of 1000 euros, she does not have the means. "
Fortunately, the copros, the owners spread the exorbitant costs over time to keep their tenants. The hope is a decrease in energy prices in the second half of the year.
