2020- n° 235In Q2 2020, rents increased by 0.1% Housing rent indices - second quarter 2020
In metropolitan France, rents for principal residences, rented empty, whose main use is habitation, rose by +0.1% in Q2 2020, after being stable in the previous quarter.
Over one year, the variation was +0.3%, after already +0.3% in the previous quarter. Rents in the private sector increased by 0.7% over the year. In the social sector, they decreased by 0.7% after a decrease of 0.6% in the previous quarter.
This publication, released quarterly, presents changes in housing rent indices, calculated from the results of two surveys, Rents and charges survey (L&C) and the survey on the rents of the social sector (ELBS). While the health crisis had little effect on the ELBS survey, the L&C survey had to be adapted: the first and last interviews, which are usually conducted face-to-face, had to be conducted be telephone. These particular collection conditions had an impact on the quality of the data collected. However, the usual adjustment methods have satisfactorily overcome these difficulties.

For further information
The data are calculated from the results of the Rents and charges survey and the survey on the rents of the social sector (ELBS). The field covers all principal residences, rented empty, whose main use is habitation. The index is calculated according to the Laspeyres formula applied to rents per square metre. We measure variations at a constant quality by comparing the rents observed in the Q-quarter to the rents observed in the Q-1-quarter. These indices are then chained, from the 1st month of a quarter to the 1st month of the previous quarter.These data differ from the Housing Rent Reference Index (IRL), which is the reference for the revision of rents during the lease term in the private rental stock, because the change in rents presented here is the one actually recorded. While the real change in rents is correlated with the evolution of the IRL, the two indices are not identical.
