The Tenant Experience in Luxembourg’s Private Rental Market

Tenants in Luxembourg face unique challenges in accessing the private rental market, during their tenancy, and when exiting lease agreements. This report analyses the conditions of a select group of tenants in Luxembourg across each of these three phases. It uses two new data sources collected during the 2022-2023 timeframe. The first is an analysis of correspondence to a tenants’ protection association during a one-year period (n=262). The second is an analysis of five focus groups where tenants discussed their experiences (n=32). In doing so, the report provides a detailed look into tenants’ perceptions of disputes, challenges, and central questions they ask when they are seeking to become aware of or exercise their rights. This perspective is vital to better understand Luxembourg’s private rental market from the standpoint of the tenant.
