All Landlords Will Claim This Tax From Tenants: Here's How Much You'll Have to Pay

Beware of the unpleasant end-of-year surprise.

Watch out for your wallet, a new bill is about to arrive for all tenants in France. While property taxes now fall exclusively on owners, renting a property does not mean that you are completely exempt from certain charges since the abolition of the housing tax. You still have to plan for it in your expenses.

A few weeks ago, all property owners received an important document from the tax authorities: the property tax notice. While most only look at the total amount to be paid to the tax authorities, written in large letters on the first page, all those who have a property rented out for the year must focus on the second part of the document. Page no. 2 details the calculation of this local tax and allows you to understand what part of the total is paid to which community. Among these elements, one must be paid by the tenant.

In the middle of all the columns, a tax concerns only the inhabitant of the premises. This is the tax on household waste, which can also be indicated under the name "TEOM". This is located in the fifth column. The amount à read is that indicated; &agrav; the line "Contribution 2024".

200% Deposit Bonus up to €3,000 180% First Deposit Bonus up to $20,000

This is not regulated at the national level: it is generally the inter-municipal authorities that decide on the rate applied. Consequently, the amount varies from a few dozen to several hundred euros per home, depending on the property and the city in which it is located.

If the property tax must be paid in full by the owner, it is up to the tenant to pay the TEOM. The owner can therefore demand a refund of the amount. Now that the exact amounts are known, many tenants should therefore be summoned by their landlord to pay them this amount in addition to the monthly rent.

However, everything depends on what the rental contract provides: either it is stipulated that the owner makes the claim when receiving or paying the property tax, or it is already provided for in the charges, in which case a catch-up will be made at the anniversary date of the lease in the event of insufficient funds.

In any case, tenants must remember to budget for this expense. Because like everything else, the tax has obviously increased again. It is difficult to make a precise estimate given the volatility of the tax. However, for those who paid it in 2023, it is approximately a 4 to 5% increase compared to the last amount.
