Energy Performance Survey and landlords owning rental accommodation

Since July 1, 2021 and the application of the “climate and resilience” law, the properties Energy Performance Survey has been completely redefined in order to fight against energy sieves (classes F and G of the said survey) taking into account the high nature in their energy consumption.

Properties classified F or G will thus gradually be subject to provisions aimed in particular at:

• impose the performance of energy audits for all sales of single-family homes and collective housing buildings in single ownership (from April 1, 2023)
•  freeze the increase in rents (since August 25, 2022)
•  prohibit the rental:
  •  dwellings consuming more than 450 kWh of final energy per m² and per year, from 1 January 2023
  • G-rated properties starting 2025
  • E-rated properties starting 2028
  • E-rated properties starting 2034
