“Of the milk cowswealthy, rentiers “. It is in this way that the 35 million property owners feel considered by the State, launched Sylvain Grataloup, president of the National Union of Real Estate Owners (UNPI), this Tuesday, June 17, during the National Housing Assises organized by the Government in Paris. A feeling fueled by The explosion of the property tax since the removal of the housing tax but also by Management of rentsthe establishment of a rent permit, the gradual prohibition on renting thermal colanders and by the abolition of the Pinel rental investment system.

Aware that it is today more tempting to invest in the stock market than in real estate, the Minister of Housing, Valérie Létard, pushes for the establishment, in favor of the finance bill for 2026, of a real tax status of landlord. A status claimed for years by the representatives of landlord owners, in order to recognize the role of economic agents of the latter. Responsible by the Minister with a mission on the creation of this famous status of the private lessor, the deputy Mickaël Cosson and the senator Marc-Philippe Daubresse will give him their report “At the end of June, early July”said the first at the National Housing Assizes. The objective being that Valérie Létard may defend him within the framework of inter -ministerial budgetary negotiations on the finance bill for 2026, which will open next month.

Take into account the specifics of thermal colanders

A discount which will therefore intervene a little later than expected, since the minister had initially mentioned mid-June. Is that if “Matignon is favorable to the creation of this status of the private lessor, we must still convince Bercy”explains a source close to the file. A challenge while the government seeks to Save 40 billion euros. As Capital said it at the end of Maythe report of the two parliamentarians should recommend the implementation of an accounting damping of the rented property, corresponding to its loss of annual value, up to 4%, in the new as in the old one, with an additional bonus for investors praising 15% below market rents. Only the new rental investmentscarried out after the entry into force of the status of the private lessor, should be affected by this measure. “We work on the flow”not on the stock, confirms Mickaël Cosson.

This new status should also take into account “Specifications of the accommodation noted F and G on the energy performance diagnosis (DPE), in order to create an air call on these Thermal TOCKS»»said Mickaël Cosson. In other words, it is a question of encouraging rental investors to buy this type of goods and to renovate them. The future status of the private lessor will also have to “Take into account the specificities of the territories because we do not need the same accommodation everywhere”adds the deputy. The idea being for example to encourage investors to Rent accommodation for students in cities that are sorely lacking.
