What is a rent increase?

A rent increase is the update of the rent payable by the tenant at each renewal period of the lease. Under Turkish law, the annual increase in residential and roofed-workplace leases is limited to the twelve-month CPI average of the previous rental year. Even if the parties agree on a higher rate, this ceiling cannot be exceeded.

How is the new rent calculated?

The new rent is found by increasing the current rent by the CPI rate. This tool compares the annual CPI rate you enter with the statutory cap applicable to residences and applies the lower of the two, so both the contractual increase and the legal limit are respected.

Example

For a residence with a monthly rent of 15,000 TL and an annual CPI of 60%, the statutory cap for residential leases applies and the increase is limited to the cap rate. The result is the current rent increased by the cap rate.

Legal framework

The increase rate for residential and roofed-workplace leases is based on the twelve-month CPI average. In certain periods the legislator may introduce temporary caps; it is important to assess the current legislation together with your contract.

Frequently asked questions

Can the landlord demand more than CPI?

No. The annual increase in residential leases cannot exceed the twelve-month CPI average; any excess is invalid.

What about leases longer than five years?

For lease relationships exceeding five years, the judge may set the new rent on an equitable basis without being bound by CPI.

Is there a cap for workplace leases?

Roofed workplaces are subject to the same CPI limit; different rules may apply to special-nature leases.

Is the increase applied automatically every year?

The increase is generally requested at renewal; the parties may agree, and disputes may be taken to court.
