The scorching episodes of this summer are there to remind you, if necessary: global warming is an increasingly significant reality. And buildingsresidential as tertiary sector, are anything but foreigners there, since they represent around 18% of greenhouse gas emissions in France, against 19% for agriculture and 31% for transport, according to government figures. In the wake of the climate and resilience law of 2021, which gradually prohibits the rental of energy smarks, Frédéric Pedro intends to bring his stone to the building of the fight against climate change. Founder, in 2023, of an online real estate agency based in Angoulême (Charente), rent easy, this training engineer launches, in this month, a “Climate lease”.
This is mainly intended for young people under the age of 30, “Very concerned by environmental issues but whose actions remain quite limited”observes ADEME (agency of the ecological transition) in a report published in 2023. The climate lease to rent easy gives them the opportunity to join the gestures to the words. First, a rental candidate may have flashed on a two -piece furnished room of 35 square meters at 510 euros, in Angoulême, he will not have keys as long as he has not made a small assessment of his own carbon footprint. This, via the “our climate gestures” tool from Ademe, which questions him in particular about his way of moving (car, scooter, bicycle, walking).
Students, 3 tips for saving (large) on your accommodation
The Transport Subscription reimbursed at 50%
Once in the premises, the tenant has six months to undergo three -hour training in the ecological emergency with the organization La Fresque Climate. The game is worth the candle because its owner then undertakes to Do not increase rent for a year. Better, if the tenant mainly moves in public transport or by bicycle, the owner consents to him discount of about fifty euros on the LoyeR, on simple presentation of his bus, tram or metro subscription. This will not seek far for the owner: 50 euros, this represents 0.8% of the annual rent of the Angoulême T2 at 510 euros. For the young person, on the other hand “Subscriptions to public transport cost around 100 euros per year, this reimburses half of it”underlines Frédéric Pedro.
This discount on rent is not only granted to tenants followers of soft mobility but also to those who can attest to a commitment to an environmental association or eco-responsible gesturesmeasured for example by controlling their electricity consumption. Frédéric Pedro had for a time imagined granting this discount also in return for chicken coops installed in the garden of roommates, the hens being very ecological by their diet, but “It didn’t work because of noise”he has fun.

About twenty leases signed
We can clearly see the interest of the climate lease for tenants, a little less for the owners, especially that it is easy to rent that they offer housing noted at least on the diagnosis of energy performance (DPE), that is to say goods which are not Thermal TOCKS. “We can imagine that a tenant committed in favor of environmental protection will be a little more Beauty for the maintenance of the accommodation»»explains Fabrice Pedro. While recognizing that this type of lease is addressed “Inevitably to owners committed to the climate, also”. With around twenty climate leases signed on date, the manager has no doubt to reach “Quickly the hundred”.
