FAQ

How do I calculate a rent increase percentage?

Percentage increase = (new rent − current rent) ÷ current rent × 100. A rise from 1,500 to 1,600 is a 6.7% increase.

How much can a landlord legally raise rent?

It depends on the country — from a hard cap (e.g. 20% over 3 years in Germany) to an index (e.g. TÜFE in Turkey) to no national cap (e.g. England). Select your country above to check.

Do I have to give notice for a rent increase?

Almost always yes. Notice periods range from 30 to 120 days depending on the country. The calculator shows the required notice for your selection.
