You can know the previous IRL and their previous annual developments.
Please note
The IRL is based on the average change in consumer prices excluding tobacco and rent over the last 12 months.
THEIRL: titleContent serves as a basis for reviewing the rent of an empty rented dwelling or furnished with a residential lease. The IRL annual change determines the maximum increase that the owner of the dwelling can apply to the rent for the year.
The IRL to be taken into account is different depending on the type of housing:

Private Sector Accommodation
The owner (or real estate agency) of a private sector dwelling can review the rent once a year if a clause in the lease provides for it.
Warning
Revising the rent is prohibited in the following cases
- In metropolitan France, when the lease is signed, renewed or tacitly renewed since 24 august 2022, and it concerns a dwelling classified F or G (classification indicated on the DPE: titleContent),
- In Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion and Mayotte, when the lease is signed, renewed or tacitly renewed since 1er July 2024, and it concerns a dwelling classified F or G (classification indicated on the DPE: titleContent).
The IRL date to be taken into account is the date indicated in the lease. This may be the annual end date of the lease or another date agreed between the owner (or real estate agency) and the tenant.
If the date of the IRL to be taken into account is not indicated in the lease, it is necessary to take the date of the last IRL published by theInsee: titleContent at the time of signing the lease.
Warning
- If a rent supplement applies, the amount of the rent to be revised is equal to the total of basic rent and the rent supplement.
- For furnished accommodation, if the loads are to be paid at the flat rate, this amount can be revised each year according to the same rules as those of the revision of the rent.
- For housing governed by the 1948 Act, rules for annual rent increases are specific
To calculate the revision of the monthly rent amount, the landlord (or real estate agency) needs the following 3 elements:
- Current monthly rent
- IRL for the current year reference quarter
- IRL for the reference quarter (as provided for in the lease or last published by theInsee: titleContent at the time of signing the lease).
The calculation consists of the following operation:
New rent = Current monthly rent x IRL for the current year reference quarter / IRL for the same quarter of the previous year.
FYI
The result of the calculation must be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place.
Example :
A lease signed in mainland France on July 20, 2025, and fixing the monthly rent at €600, may be revised on 20 July 2026.
The last index published on the date of signature of the lease is that of 2e quarter 2025, i.e 146.68.
The new index published on the revision date is that of 2e quarter 2026, i.e 148.37.
July 20, 2026, date of 1re revision of the rent, the new amount of the rent must be calculated as follows: €600 x 148.37 / 146.68 = €606.91.
For a home located in metropolis (on the continent), you can calculate using the following simulator:
Anah Accommodation agreement
If the lease contains a clause providing for the annual review of the rent, then the rent (excluding charges) can be reviewed annually. It is recommended to indicate that the rent is revised every 1er January, depending on the evolution of the IRL of 2e quarter of the previous year, published by theInsee: titleContent.
Example :
For a lease signed on March 3, 2026 for a dwelling located in Anzin (metropolis):
- Rent (excluding charges) upon signing the lease: €600
- Date of 1re revision: 1er January 2027
- IRL of 2e quarter 2026: 148.37
- IRL of 2e quarter 2025: 146.68
Calculation of the rent to be applied in 2027: (€600 x 148.37) / 146.68 = €606.91
In 2027, the revised rent to be applied is €606.91.
Please note
The revised rent must be lower than the revised maximum rent of the Anah Convention. The maximum rent of the agreement is revised each year to 1er January, depending on the change in the IRL of 2e quarter of the previous year, published by theInsee: titleContent. The result is rounded to the nearest euro cent.
Social Accommodation (HLM)
Rent is revised every 1er January.
The variation of IRL: titleContent taken into account is that of 2e quarter of the previous year.
The 1er January of year N, to calculate the new rent to be applied, the social landlord needs the following 3 elements:
- Current monthly rent
- IRL of 2e quarter of year N-1
- IRL of 2e quarter of year N-2
The calculation consists of the following operation:
New rent = current rent amount x IRL of 2e quarter of year N-1 / IRL of 2e quarter of year N-2
FYI
The result of the calculation must be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place.
Example :
For a lease signed in metropolitan France on March 9, 2026, fixing the rent at €600, the social landlord may revise rent for the 1re times the 1er January 2027 (year N).
For this, it needs the following 3 elements:
- The current monthly rent amount, i.e €600
- IRL of 2e quarter of year N-1, i.e. IRL of 2e quarter 2026, 148.37
- IRL of 2e quarter of year N-2, i.e. IRL of 2e quarter 2025, 146.68
The calculation is as follows:
New rent = €600 x 148.37 / 146.68 = €606.91.
Please note
If the social landlord has made rehabilitation works, he can review the rent differently, for a limited period of time.
The owner (or real estate agency) can apply the annual rent review within one year of the date of revision of the lease.
The rent review does not apply retroactively, but only from the date of the application.
When the one-year period has elapsed, the unapplied revision is lost to the owner.
Example :
If the revision date is March 13, 2026, the landlord can revise the rent until March 12, 2027.
However, if the landlord does not request it until June 13, 2026, only rents collected from that date can be revised.
