How to calculate rent increase

Most rental agreements in India include a standard escalation clause (usually 5% to 10% annually).

If no clause exists, increases should align with local market rates to avoid disputes.

  • Standard Escalation: 5% - 8% for residential.
  • Market Correction: If rent is significantly below market, negotiate a new agreement.
  • Notice Period: Always provide 1-2 months notice before hiking rent.
