Apartments for sale and rent in Luxembourg
The 'capital invested' is the amount spent on the physical construction, whether valued at the time of construction or reassessed at the moment the law enters into force. Those who cannot document their building costs must accept the Commission's opinion on rented apartments. The landlord may propose the tenant to make use of the acquisition price, but the Commission's view of rented apartments prevails if the tenant objects. If construction took place more than 20 years ago, the value of capital invested is considered to have decreased by 10%. Thus fixed rentals can only be changed every three years.
Furnished apartments can only be rented at double the preceding rates.
Pre-1944 housing over 9 m2 may not be rented more than 600 francs if 'without comfort;' 1,000 francs if 'with comfort' and 1,500 francs when 'with modern comfort' is provided. The rentals of smaller houses are reduced proportionately.
These restrictions do not apply to independent households, villas and apartments with at least 7 rooms and 'modern comfort.'
Deposits
A maximum deposit of three months can be requested.
