Rents may rise up to 2.56% in 2027

Landlords in Portugal may increase rent values by up to 2.56% in 2027, based on August inflation figures. This rent update applies to rental contracts subject to the annual rent update regime. The maximum increase limit was calculated taking into account the evolution of the consumer price index, which serves as the reference for setting the update coefficient. This measure falls within the Portuguese legal framework for rent control, which determines the criteria by which landlords may proceed with annual increases. Tenants must be notified by landlords of any change to the rent value, respecting the legal deadlines established for communicating updates.
