Spanish Rental Law: What Tenants Need to Know About Retroactive Rent Increases
A recent video by legal expert LegalMente.RRSS sheds light on a common concern for tenants in Spain: retroactive rent increases. The expert clarified that if a landlord has not updated the rent for several years, they are legally permitted to apply the increases for up to five years, provided this condition is explicitly stated in the rental contract. However, a crucial point highlighted by LegalMente.RRSS is that tenants are not obligated to pay the accumulated difference for past months. Instead, the updated rent becomes payable only from the month immediately following the landlord's written notification. This notification must clearly specify the applicable index for the increase, such as the IPC (Consumer Price Index) or IRAV (Reference Index for Rental Updates), and include the mathematical calculation. This information aims to provide clarity for both landlords and tenants navigating rental agreements in Spain.
