Question 8342 — housing

Summary

Mr. Frédéric Falcon draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty concerning the exemption from the tax on housing that has become vacant due to the progressive ban on rental of the latter with regard to their energy performance rating established by the energy performance diagnosis (DPE). In application of the “climate and resilience” law of August 22, 2021, housing classified E, F and G is gradually being prohibited from being rented. Energy decency requirements are worsening the shortage day by day by removing hundreds of thousands of housing units from the rental stock, making most of them vacant, even as demand explodes, particularly in large urban centers and coastal and border areas. This situation places owners in an impasse: on the one hand, they find it legally impossible to re-rent their property without carrying out costly energy renovation work when the latter is materially and administratively feasible within the allotted time frame; on the other, they see themselves fiscally penalized by the administration by refusing to sell their assets at a loss, even though the vacancy is not their fault, but rather the result of a prohibition imposed by law. This measure aimed at accelerating the energy transition of the real estate stock cannot make us forget that the energy performance diagnosis constitutes an unreliable tool, where nearly 71% of DPEs carried out are ultimately erroneous according to a study by Hello Watt (40% of DPEs carried out have one label of deviation from reality and 31% of DPEs carried out have two labels of deviation from reality). This This situation is explained both by the complex nature of the calculation method used for its establishment and by the fraudulent practices to which certain diagnosticians still resort today. Faced with this distressing inventory, he wishes to know if the Government is pragmatically considering a specific exemption from the tax on vacant housing for housing that has become vacant due to their ban on sale. in rental linked to their DPE rating and to therefore specify the terms of application.
