Frequently asked questions

What's a typical rent escalation rate in India?

Many rental agreements specify a 5-10% increase at each annual or biennial renewal — check your specific lease terms, as this varies by city, landlord, and market conditions.

How is rent escalation different from inflation?

Rent escalation is a specific contractual increase (usually fixed in your lease agreement), while inflation is the general rise in prices across the economy — they may or may not track closely together.

Can I negotiate my rent escalation rate?

Often yes, especially at the time of signing or renewing a lease — a longer initial lease term is sometimes traded for a lower or capped future escalation rate.
