How is the rent increase calculated?
In residential and roofed workplace rents, the increase to be applied in the renewed rental year cannot exceed the rate of change in TÜFE based on 12-month averages in the preceding rental year (Turkish Code of Obligations No. 6098, Art. 344). This rate is announced monthly by TÜİK and differs from annual inflation.
Formula: New rent (maximum) = Current rent × (1 + TÜFE 12-month average change ÷ 100). The rate announced for the month before the renewal month is used; for example, for a rent renewed in October, the September rate (announced at the beginning of October) applies.
Sample calculation
In a contract with a monthly rent of 20.000 TL, renewed in a period for which the 12-month average rate of change was announced as %35, the rent can be at most 20.000 × 1,35 = 27.000 TL. (The rate is for illustration; current rates are in the table on the page.)
The parties may agree on a lower increase; even if the contract states a higher rate, the TÜFE limit cannot be exceeded. The temporary %25 limit applied to residential rents between 11 June 2022 and 1 July 2024 has ended.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum possible rent increase?
A rent increase cannot exceed the rate of change in TÜFE by 12-month averages for the previous rental year (TCO Art. 344). The parties may agree on an increase below this limit.
Which month's rate is used for a rent increase?
The TÜFE 12-month average rate of change announced for the month before the rent renewal month is used. For example, for a lease renewed in October, the rate for September applies.
Does the %25 limit on residential rents still apply?
No. The temporary %25 increase limit on residential rents ended as of 1 July 2024; the TÜFE 12-month average rate of change now applies.
How is the rent determined for a tenant who has completed 5 years?
In leases longer than five years or renewed after five years, the new rent is determined equitably by the judge, taking into account the TÜFE rate, the condition of the leased property and comparable rents (TCO Art. 344/3).
