The Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire opened the door on Tuesday to a postponement of the timetable for the ban on the rental of housing considered to be “thermal sieves” from 2025, arguing that inflation has changed the given.
I consider that everything that was decided before the rise in interest rates (editor’s note) deserves to be looked at again in the light of this crisis. What was possible when money was available becomes impossible with rates this high. We must be very pragmatic and see if we can shift the calendars, declared the minister at the Parisian.
The Climate and Resilience law, promulgated on August 24, 2021, provides for a ban on the rental from January 1, 2025 of housing classified G and in 2028 of those classified F by the new energy performance diagnosis (DPE). The latter is no longer based on energy bills, but on the characteristics of the building (quality of insulation, type of windows, heating system, etc.).
Can’t this so-called DPE classification be improved?
When we increase by 1.6 billion euros the credits dedicated to the renovation of housing in the 2024 budget, it is to support these owners. Then I wonder: can’t this so-called DPE classification be improved?, underlines Bruno Le Maire.
With my colleague from the Ecological Transition Christophe Bchu, we are ready to open this debate, assures the Minister of Finance.

Personally, Bruno Le Maire says he is very favorable to a revision of the calendar, in particular for co-ownerships.
