Landlords can increase rents up to 2.56% in 2027

Diário de Coimbra10 September 2026 at 12:30

Landlords in Portugal can increase rents up to 2.56% in 2027, according to data confirmed by the National Statistics Institute. This percentage represents the average price variation that serves as the basis for the annual rent update in the country.

The value of 2.56% is higher than what was applied in the previous year, which represents an increase compared to the 2026 rent update. This variation reflects the evolution of prices in the Portuguese real estate market.

The rent update is a regulated process that allows landlords to periodically adjust the value of rents to the price levels practiced in the economy, with the National Statistics Institute being the entity responsible for providing the official data that determines these limits.
