Breaking News: Parliamentary Mission Delays Report on Private Landlord Status
The parliamentary mission responsible for creating a real status for private landlords will submit its report to the Minister of Housing by the end of June or early July. This report was expected earlier but has been delayed due to negotiations with Bercy.
Background and Context
For years, representatives of landlords have been advocating for a formal status to acknowledge their role as economic agents. This status aims to provide recognition and potentially beneficial tax measures for private landlords, making real estate investments more attractive compared to other options like stock market investments.
Key Points
- The parliamentary mission, led by Deputy Mickaël Cosson and Senator Marc-Philippe Daubresse, will deliver its report at the end of June or early July.
- The report is expected to recommend measures such as accounting damping of rented property and additional bonuses for investors who rent below market rates.
- The new status will consider the energy performance of properties and encourage investments in thermal “F” and “G” rated accommodations.
- Specific territorial needs will be taken into account to promote investments in areas with high demand, such as student housing.
Implications
This new status is seen as a significant step towards recognizing the economic contributions of private landlords. With the report now delayed, the Minister of Housing, Valérie Létard, will push for its inclusion in the finance bill for 2026, which begins its inter-ministerial budgetary negotiations next month.
Expert Insights
Sylvain Grataloup, president of the National Union of Real Estate Owners (UNPI), expressed frustration over the current treatment of landlords by the state. The explosion of property tax and other regulations has made real estate investment less appealing compared to other financial options.
Future Outlook
The future status of private landlords is expected to include measures that account for the depreciation of rental properties and offer incentives for investing in energy-efficient renovations. These steps aim to make real estate a more attractive investment option, aligning with the government’s goals to encourage long-term investments in housing.
