As rental prices continue to rise in Greece, the Union of Consumer Workers (ΕΕΚΕ) has released a guide to help tenants understand their rights concerning rent increases. According to the EEKC, landlords cannot unilaterally raise rent during a lease period unless there is a specific clause in the tenancy agreement permitting such adjustments. This clarification comes in response to an increase in inquiries and complaints from tenants encountering this issue.
The law states that any rent increase must adhere to the terms outlined in the rental contract. If no such provision exists, tenants have the legal right to reject the proposed increase. EEKC emphasizes the importance of being informed about these rights, especially as many tenants are facing financial pressure and uncertainty about their housing costs. The organization aims to provide clarity and support to tenants navigating these legal matters, ensuring they are equipped to respond appropriately when faced with rent increases.
