Rents in Portugal may rise up to 2.56% in 2027, according to the most recent inflation data. Statistics Portugal (INE) confirmed the values that serve as reference for the annual rent update in the country.
The base value for this calculation results from the average variation of the consumer price index, excluding housing, over the last 12 months until August. This rate of 2.56% will be the coefficient applied to rents in the coming year.
The annual rent update mechanism in Portugal is directly linked to inflation trends. The coefficient determined based on this data defines the maximum percentage by which landlords may increase rents for their tenants.
