Landlords can increase rents by up to 2,16% in 2025, according to August inflation figures confirmed today by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
According to data from the INE, which confirm the figures put forward in the rapid estimate released on 30 August, in the last 12 months up to August the average variation in the price index, excluding housing, was 2,16%, a value that serves as the basis for the coefficient used for the annual update of rents for the next year, under the New Urban Leasing Regime (NRAU).
The actual rent update value must now be published in the Official Gazette by 30 October, after which owners will be able to announce the rent increase to tenants, with the increase only being able to effectively occur 30 days after this notice.
This year's rate, to be applied in 2025, represents a slowdown compared to last year, when it was set at 6,94%.
In 2024, the previous government decided not to impose a rent brake, as happened in 2023, but approved measures to reinforce support for tenants.
