Rent Increase Rate Slows Compared to 2024
The rent increase for 2025 has been set at 2.16%, based on August inflation data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). This is a sharp drop from the 6.94% increase allowed in 2024. The change comes after a year of easing inflation, which is used to calculate rent adjustments under the New Urban Lease Regime (NRAU).
Official Rent Increase Details Due by October 30
While the rate is based on confirmed inflation data, the official rent adjustment must still be published in the Diário da República by October 30. Landlords can inform tenants of the increase, but it can only take effect 30 days after the notice is given. In 2024, the government did not set a cap on rent increases but did provide extra support to help tenants cope with rising costs.
