The maximum rent increase rate applicable during lease renewal periods in Turkey is determined based on the 12-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) average announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT). For the June 2026 period, the 12-month CPI average released by TURKSTAT came in at 32.24%. This rate will serve as the legal cap for both residential and commercial lease agreements.
Statutory Cap on Residential Rent Increases: 32.24%
According to the regulation enacted in 2022, residential rent increase rates are indexed solely to the 12-month CPI average. For June 2026, this rate stands at 32.24%. Unless otherwise agreed between the tenant and landlord, the rent can be increased by a maximum of this percentage for the new period.
Calculation Example (Residential)
Current Rent: 10,000 TL Rent Increase Rate: 32.24% New Rent Amount: 10,000 TL x 1.3224 = 13,224 TL
Current Situation in Commercial Rents
For commercial rents, the 12-month average CPI is generally taken into account as well. However, if a different rate has been specified between the parties in commercial contracts, that rate may also apply. Legal regulations and contract clauses should be carefully reviewed, and a written agreement should be established between the parties.
Calculation Example (Commercial)
Current Rent: 20,000 TL Rent Increase Rate: 32.24% New Rent Amount: 20,000 TL x 1.3224 = 26,448 TL
Things to Conside
- The 32.24% limit is the legal cap for residential rent increases; no increase above this rate can be applied.
- In commercial rents, parties enjoy greater freedom of contract, but the CPI rate is generally accepted as the benchmark.
- The increase rate applies only to current contract renewals; market prices apply to new lease agreements.
- All increases must be documented in writing and officially, and payments should be made with a transaction receipt.
