According to the first estimates from the Olap survey, the rents of the unfurnished private rental stock increased by an average of 1.8% in 2021 in the agglomeration, against 0.8% in 2021, and by 2. 1% Bets. An increase, however, much lower than the average evolution of the IRL, capped by the legislator to counter inflation, which constitutes an unprecedented situation for more than 10 years, according to Olap.

The rent reference index (IRL) is used to re-evaluate the rent of a rental unit each year. It is calculated each quarter by INSEE based on changes in consumer prices (excluding tobacco and rents).
