Many tenants know about the annual rent indexation: a periodic increase based on inflation. But did you know that rent can also be increased outside this annual indexation?
Introduction
Besides the annual indexation, there are other situations where a landlord can increase the rent.
Grounds for rent increase
A rent increase outside indexation is possible when significant improvements have been made to the property or when the points valuation changes.
Conclusion
Rent increases outside annual indexation are only allowed in specific situations and often require consent from the tenant or approval from the Rent Tribunal.
