Luxembourg's Ministry of Housing has announced the government's decision to extend the freeze on rent increases until 30 June 2021.
As of 20 May 2020, the government council decided on a temporary freeze on all rent increases for residential lease contracts until the end of the year.
In view of the significant increase in the risk of infections this autumn and which is likely to last until next spring, the government has decided to extend this temporary rent freeze by six months, until the end of June 2021. This was done in accordance with the decisions taken with regard to the extension of partial unemployment.
Luxembourg's Minister of Housing, Henri Kox, stated: “The government will do its utmost to mitigate the economic impact of the pandemic on the situation of people with modest incomes. This action to freeze rent increases is one of them”.
