Rents in Portugal may increase up to 2.56% in 2027, according to the article. This value represents the maximum update limit that landlords may apply to their tenants.
Owners may only communicate the rent increase to tenants after the official publication of the update value in the Diário da República, the official journal of the Portuguese State.
After notifying the tenant, the actual rent increase may only occur after 30 days, thus guaranteeing a pre-notice period for the tenant.
The article does not specify which entity is responsible for setting this limit nor does it indicate the reasons for this specific percentage increase.
