Así funciona la nueva calculadora del alquiler para saber cuánto puede subir el casero la renta

The new rental rent calculator, updated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, enables tenants to calculate the adjustment of their rent contracts following the new decree. This tool allows tenants to determine the maximum rent increase, which is capped at 2%, as stipulated by the decree.

The main feature of this calculator (accessible via the link provided) is the inclusion of the extraordinary limitation on the annual rent update as per the new norm. This regulation, applicable across Spain, applies to all rental contracts that are due for annual review and extends until December 31, 2027.

To use the calculator, tenants need to complete three steps to find out the maximum rent amount they can charge under their contract. The calculator provides an accurate figure for the tenant's upcoming monthly payment.

The calculation mechanism of the tool distinguishes between two scenarios based on the current rent amount. If the tenant's monthly payment exceeds the threshold set by the State Reference Price System for Rental Housing (Serpavi) in their geographical area, the rent must remain frozen. The application includes a direct link to verify if the monthly payment exceeds this limit.

On the other hand, if the rent falls at or below the Serpavi threshold, the landlord can apply the agreed-upon increase stipulated in the contract. However, this increase cannot surpass the maximum extraordinary 2%. The Ministry clarifies that the calculator's results are informative and supportive, always requiring correct data entry for each rental contract.
