Turkey has established the maximum rent increase rate for agreements renewed in September 2026. The cap is 31.79% and applies to both residential and commercial properties.
The rate is calculated based on the average change in the Consumer Price Index over the previous 12 months. According to official statistics, consumer prices in Turkey increased by 1.84% month-on-month and 31.51% year-on-year in August 2026.
The announced rate does not mean that rents will automatically increase for all tenants. It applies only when an agreement is renewed annually and determines the maximum permitted adjustment. The parties may agree on a lower percentage, but the established cap cannot be exceeded.
For example, with a monthly rent of 20,000 Turkish liras, the maximum increase would be 6,358 liras. After the adjustment, the new monthly rent could reach 26,358 liras.
The September rate was slightly lower than the August cap of 31.90%. The gradual decline continues: the maximum adjustment stood at 34.88% in January 2026 and fell to 31.79% in September.
The change is important for both tenants and owners of investment properties. For landlords, it affects the potential rental income when an agreement is renewed, while tenants can calculate their upcoming expenses in advance.
However, the actual rental price depends not only on indexation but also on the city, district, property characteristics, level of demand and terms of the individual agreement.
