Index-linked rent
Short definition
An index-linked rent is a rental agreement in which the rent is linked to the development of the consumer price index. If the index rises, the rent can be adjusted accordingly.
When is an index-linked rent worthwhile for landlords?
An index-linked rent is particularly worthwhile for long-term tenancies and rising inflation, as it allows for an automatic adjustment of the rent.
How is the index-linked rent adjusted?
The adjustment is based on the consumer price index and must be announced in writing.
Practical Context
Index-linked rents are used to link rent adjustments to inflation and to create long-term planning security. At the same time, they require clear communication and correct calculation.
Example
Errors in the adjustment lead to tenants contesting the increase.
