How is the Rent Increase Rate Determined?
The rent increase in residential rents is determined according to the 12-month average rate of change of the CPI. Landlords may raise the rent or apply a lower rate, provided that it does not exceed this rate. In workplace rents, the increase rate is usually calculated based on the index specified in the lease agreement.

What Should Landlords and Tenants Pay Attention to?
Landlords have to increase the rent within these limits. Tenants, on the other hand, should make sure that the increase does not exceed the CPI 12-month average. It is important for the parties who encounter a contrary situation to consider their legal rights.
