How the rule works
Under Decree No. 43 of 2013, the allowed increase depends on how far the current rent is below the index average for the unit.
| Current rent vs index average | Maximum increase |
|---|---|
| Up to 10% below, or above | No increase |
| 11–20% below | 5% |
| 21–30% below | 10% |
| 31–40% below | 15% |
| More than 40% below | 20% |
Rent can change only at renewal, and with 90 days' written notice.
