The Greek Consumer Workers' Union (ΕΕΚΕ) has recently issued guidelines regarding rent increases, outlining the legal conditions under which landlords can adjust rental prices. According to their statement, landlords are permitted to raise rents only when such provisions are explicitly included in the rental agreement. This means that any rental increase must have a clear reference in the contract to avoid any legal disputes.
The guidelines also clarify when rent increases are prohibited. Specifically, they highlight scenarios like the duration of the lease and the economic situation of the tenant, which may affect the legality of an increase. If these conditions are not satisfied, landlords cannot lawfully demand higher rents. Furthermore, the ΕΕΚΕ urged renters to carefully review their rental agreements and to be aware of their rights to prevent any potential issues related to unjustified rent hikes.
As housing costs continue to rise in Greece, understanding these regulations becomes crucial for both renters and landlords to ensure compliance with the law and maintain a fair renting environment.
