Between July and October 2021, rents decreased by 0.2% Housing rent indices - October 2021
In metropolitan France, rents for principal residences (rented empty, whose main use is habitation) decreased by 0.2% between July and October 2021, after a rise of 0.2% between April and July 2021.
Over one year, they increased by 0.7%, after +1.1% in July. Rents in the private sector rose by 0.5%. In the social sector, they increased by 1.2% over one year.
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).
As for the L&C survey, collection conditions returned to normal in October 2021, but were degraded in the previous quarters in the context of the pandemic. This may have an impact on the quality of the calculations made for this quarter. 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 M-month (January, April, July or October) to the rents observed in the M-3-month. These indices are then chained.
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.
