- How to read: for a year N, the year-on-year change in Q1 corresponds to the change between the April N-1 index and the April N index, the Q2 point to the change between the July N-1 index and the July N index, the Q3 point to the change between the October N-1 index and the October N index and the Q4 point to the change between the January N index and the January N+1 index.
- Notes: In the social housing sector, the monitored rents include solidarity rent surcharges (“SLS” or additional rents) as well as solidarity rent reductions (“RLS”), which depend on occupants’ income. The sharp decline in rents in the social sector in the Q2 2018 is linked to the implementation of the solidarity rent reductions (RLS), concomitant with the decrease in APL for social sector tenants.

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). Rents exclude charges and the field covers all principal residences, rented empty, whose main use is habitation. In the social housing sector, the monitored rents include solidarity rent surcharges (“SLS” or additional rents) as well as solidarity rent reductions (“RLS”), which depend on occupants’ income. The index is calculated according to the Laspeyres formula applied to rents per square metre. Variation at a constant quality is measured 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.
Thus this index reflects the changes in rents actually recorded. So it differs from the Housing Rent Reference Index (RRI), whose annual variation determines the maximum increase the landlord can apply to the rent during the lease term. While the real change in rents is correlated with the evolution of the RRI, the two indices are not identical.
