The Robien device removes the resources conditions of the tenant, but not all the conditions relating to the tenants: those must, indeed, make hiring their main dwelling. Moreover, the hiring cannot be allowed to a tax hearth member of the investor, but it can be it with ascending or a descendant not member of the same tax hearth (for example, a child not attached). In the same way, if housing is the property of a company not subjected to the corporation tax (SCI, for example), and if it is rented with the one of the associates, this last cannot profit from the deduction to the investment title.

Taxation rules to respect by the owner-financial backer
The benefit of the deduction is subordinated to a tax option which must be exerted by the investor at the time of the deposit of the incomes declaration of the completion year of the building or its acquisition if it is posterior.
This option is irrevocable for housing considered and comprises the commitment of the owner to rent naked housing during at least nine years with use of principal dwelling to a person other than a member of her tax hearth.
This hiring must take effect in the twelve months that follows the completion date of the building or its acquisition if it is posterior. This engagement provides, moreover, that the rent should not exceed the ceiling fixed above according to the geographical area of the rented good situation.
Remember, the engagement of hiring must be joined to the income tax return of the first application year of the mode: completion year or, if it is posterior, acquisition year of housing.
