It is a fact that the landlord owners are impatiently awaiting: the quarterly evolution of the reference index of rents (IRL), on the basis of which they can revalue the rents of their tenants. In the second quarter of 2025, the IRL stood at 146.68, an increase of 1.04% over a year, according to figures published by INSEE this Friday, July 11.

To revise the rent of your tenant, you must multiply its amount by the IRL in the second quarter of 2025 (146.68), divided by the IRL in the second quarter of 2024, which amounted to 145.17. Take the example of a rent of 1,000 euros excluding loads. The calculation is as follows: 1,000 x (146.68/145.17) = 1,010.40 euros. You can therefore bring the rent of your tenant to 1,010.40 euros, or a increase of 10.40 euros per month. This progression is not enormous because the IRL is calculated from inflation (excluding tobacco and off -rent) of the last 12 months, which has been decreasing since the fall of 2024. By comparison, when inflation was rampant, in 2023, the government had decided to cap the IRL at +3.5% in order to protect the tenants of too high rent increases.
