Official asking-rent comparison

Advertised rents, not paid contract rents and not the legal rent cap.

Choose a commune to compare with official asking rents.

An asking rent is not an existing contract rent and not the legally allowed maximum rent.

Legal rent cap

Not evaluated

PlaceProof does not calculate the legal rent cap. Official asking rents are not that cap. A full check needs invested capital, revaluation and depreciation evidence.

Deposit repayment

Information

If there is no justified claim, half of the deposit is due within one month of key return; the rest follows the charges statement. Unjustified delay can add 10% of the monthly rent per month after formal notice.

Rent is €1,800. Moving in takes €9,075.

A synthetic household plans a 75 m² apartment with €1,800 dwelling rent and additional costs. Values come from the existing reference scenario, without a real address or market forecast.

Monthly housing costs exceed dwelling rent alone. The deposit and one-off expenses add to move-in needs. The deposit is separate because it ties up funds rather than automatically consuming them.

Monthly housing costs: €2,375
Required move-in liquidity: €9,075

Using the tool

Choose a rental jurisdiction and tenant or landlord mode. Separate dwelling and parking rent, charges, other recurring expenses and one-off costs. Add income and a planning horizon, or investment, vacancy and loan assumptions.

Understanding the results

Monthly housing cost includes the recurring items entered; included heating is not counted twice. Move-in liquidity includes the first month, deposit due and one-off expenses. The deposit is blocked liquidity, not a non-refundable expense. Landlord returns use modelled investment and costs; cash flow includes the full loan payment.

Sources and limits

Official asking-rent and index snapshots have their own periods and versions. Some regional rent indices and reference tools remain external or manual sources. Asking rents are not legal limits. Rule notices are not a complete contract review. Landlord figures exclude personal income tax and forecasts of property appreciation.
