During the coronavirus pandemic, there was much discussion and litigation regarding rent reductions due to the mandatory closure of businesses and the resulting drop in turnover. Following the Supreme Court\u2019s rulings, things seemed to have quietened down for a while on this issue. However, due to soaring inflation, the issue of rent is once again the subject of debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most tenancy agreements for retail and commercial premises include the following provision regarding the annual rent increase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the formula: the revised rent is equal to the rent in force on the date of the adjustment, multiplied by the index figure for the calendar month falling four calendar months before the calendar month in which the rent is adjusted, divided by the index figure for the calendar month falling sixteen calendar months before the calendar month in which the rent is adjusted.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Normally, the rent increase calculated using the formula mentioned above ranges between 1% and 3%. Due to extremely high inflation, this year\u2019s rent increase could be between 6% and 9%. You can, of course, calculate the rent increase yourself, but you can also use the tool provided by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). Here is the link: Calculate the rent increase for a private-sector residential or commercial property (cbs.nl)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, more than ever, it is wise for both tenants and landlords to review the terms set out in the tenancy agreement. For example, the tenancy agreement may sometimes contain different provisions regarding rent increases. As a tenant, you should bear in mind that the rent may well rise significantly this year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tijdens de coronapandemie is er veel gesproken en geprocedeerd over huurkorting vanwege de verplicht opgelegde sluiting van bedrijven en de daarmee gepaard gaande omzetdaling.
