House rents in Portugal are expected to increase more than 2.5% at the beginning of 2027. The indicator used as a reference for updating rental contract values practically ensures an increase in rents next year, compared to this year's values.
This indicator serves as the basis for reviewing rental contracts in Portugal, functioning as a reference for landlords and tenants in negotiating values. The rent update is carried out according to rules defined in Portuguese rental legislation.
The expected increase represents a significant impact for tenants who are already facing high housing costs in the country. This increase comes in a context of housing access difficulties that have been a constant concern in Portugal.
