How much can I legally increase the rent at renewal?
Only per Decree 43/2013, benchmarked against the RERA/Smart Rental Index. If your current rent is within 10% of the market rate, no increase is allowed; 11-20% below permits 5%; 21-30% permits 10%; 31-40% permits 15%; and more than 40% below permits a maximum of 20%. The official RERA calculator output is legally decisive.
Rules and eligibility criteria change — confirm the current position with the relevant authority before acting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Figures here are indicative as of July 2026 and set by third parties (government, banks, developers) — confirm the current amount before relying on it.
