A new invoice for owners: it is mandatory and is already arriving for some

A good number of owners will have to upgrade the cash register…

Housing, an endless financial well for owners. Cost of credit, co-ownership charges, property tax… Not to mention, obviously, the maintenance of your home. The bill adds up quickly and, each year, it increases, inexorably, at the rate of inflation in everyday prices. An increasingly significant budgetary pressure that is not about to stop.

A new, mandatory invoice will force owners to pay. once again, put your hand in your wallet. Or at least, the co-owners. In fact, only owners of property in buildings or on land containing several houses are affected by this next checkout. Owners of an individual house are, for their part, completely exempt.
