3+2 Concordato Rental Contract
Plain English
It's a residential lease with a 3-year initial term plus a 2-year extension, at a rent capped by a local agreement between landlord and tenant associations. The rent is usually below market in exchange for tax benefits.
Why it matters
Landlords get a better cedolare secca rate (often 10%) and IMU discounts. Tenants get a longer-term contract at a more controlled rent and certain tax bonuses on their 730.
Real example
"In Bolzano, where canone concordato is widely used, Greta's 3+2 lease kept her rent stable for years while her landlord enjoyed the 10% flat tax."
Common confusion
The legal protections only kick in if the agreement is certified by the local tenant and landlord associations. Without that endorsement, the contract isn\'t a true canone concordato.
