    Can a Landlord increase Rent if the current amount is significantly below market?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Decree No. (43) of 2013 allows for tiered Rent increases based on how far the current Rent is below the market average. If the Rent is up to 10% less than the average, no increase is allowed. If it is 11% to 20% less, a 5% increase is permitted. For Rents 21% to 30% less, the increase is 10%, and it goes up to 20% if the Rent is more than 40% below the average. This tiered approach ensures Rent remains fair and grounded in market data.
