Thermal strainers in co-ownership: the rental ban postponed, under conditions!

Thermal strainers in co-ownership which have voted for a multi-year work plan will benefit from a postponement of the rental ban. In this sense, the bill from former deputy Guillaume Vuilletet will be quickly re-submitted to the National Assembly.

You are the landlord of a home rated G on the energy performance diagnosis, located in co-ownershipand you are worried because you will no longer have the right to rent it from January 1, 2025? Don’t panic. Co-ownerships, which account for two-thirds of G housing in France, and where the work decision-making processes are very long, will be temporarily exempted from the ban on rental of thermal strainerswhich applies to G housing from next January 1, then to F from 2028 and to E from 2034. The Minister of Housing, Valérie Létard, announced it on Franceinfo this Wednesday, October 23, by matching this temporary exemption from a condition: “A postponement (of the timetable for the ban on rental of strainers) will be authorized for co-owners who have voted for a multi-year work plan (PPT), the time to carry out this work.”

As a reminder, the PPT is a document developed by the co-ownership in order to establish a work schedule over 10 years. Does this mean that thermal strainers in co-ownership will be able to deviate from the rental ban for ten years? No, “there will be limits, which will be fixed in a text that we will work with parliamentarians”, answers Valérie Létard. The text in question is the bill (PPL) of the former deputy Renaissance Guillaume Vuilletet, the examination of which was interrupted in May due to the dissolution of the National Assembly.

No ban on rental of thermal strainers for current leases

This text provides in fact that the tenant of an energy sieve, classified G for example, cannot hold his lessor responsible for this poor rating after January 1, 2025 if the latter demonstrates that the general meeting of co-owners voted for work in the common areaswork without which the DPE of your home cannot be improved. “Guillaume Vuilletet’s PPL will be quickly re-submitted (to the National Assembly) by other parliamentarians”indicates the minister’s office to Capital. Quickly because the deadline of January 1, 2025 for G housing is dangerously approaching.

This PPL has an additional virtue, in the eyes of real estate agents, trustees and landlords: it specifies that the ban on rental of thermal strainers will not apply to current leases. But only to new rental contracts, concluded from January 1, 2025 for G housing, as well as to lease renewals signed from this same date. “The ban on renting G housing from January 1, 2025 will only apply in the event of a change of tenant”confirms Valérie Létard.
