The Republic's Government should publish, this month, the order that establishes the maximum percentage of rent increases, both for housing and commercial. This maximum value is calculated based on the average evolution of the Consumer Price Index, excluding housing, measured over the last 12 months. The process runs until August 31 of each year, the deadline for defining these limits.
The National Statistics Institute published, on Monday, the CPI values, and everything points to the rent increase being announced shortly. The article was cut off, so the exact percentage of the increase was not included in the available text. The law establishes a clear legal framework for these increases, protecting tenants from excessive hikes.
