August 2026 Rent Increase Rate Announced
With the latest economic data published, property owners and tenants seeking to update their lease contracts now have clarity on the highest permissible adjustment.
Since the expiration of the previously enforced 25% fixed cap, rent adjustment rates are once again being determined in accordance with standard legal framework, based on the 12-month average of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). According to the latest figures from TUIK, the maximum rate applicable to residential and commercial leases throughout August 2026 stands at 31.90%.
Under current regulations, landlords cannot exceed this threshold when renewing leases this month; however, both parties remain free to negotiate and agree upon a lower rate by mutual consent.
