A damping of at least 5% of the value of the property

“You have to hit hard”ton Marc-Philippe Daubresse, who promises to reveal Monday “A shock measure”. Note the possibility, for private investors, to deduct each year from their rental income, a accounting damping rented property, that is to say its loss of annual value.

It would be increased by one point per year for donors accepting to rent their property at a price of 15% at the market price, specifies the senator to Capital.

Please note, this damping will only be worth for new rental investmentscarried out from January 1, 2026, if the creation of this future status of the private lessor is well provided by the finance law for 2026, as the Minister of Housing wishes. “If the stock of rental investments (carried out before January 1, 2026) also benefited from this measure, Bercy would consider it too expensive”argues the parliamentarian.

But its chief of staff replied that it is not part of the Maastrichtian budgetary orthodoxy … It is not won … “sighs Marc-Philippe Daubresse. Whose report will underline that “The private rental investor is not a Speculator’s awful who tries to tax exemption at all costs ” But a cleaning which at most has two or three apartments which he rents in order to build up an additional income for his retirement.
