The Government and the National Statistics Institute have established a new reference index to update rental prices, replacing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in order to prevent disproportionate rent increases. This measure aims to ensure housing price stability, offering greater transparency and security for both landlords and tenants, particularly following the period of temporary inflation caps. The new mechanism applies exclusively to contracts signed after the entry into force of the Housing Law, thereby preventing litigation over retroactive application. The methodology combines multiple price indicators with a long-term growth parameter, using the resulting minimum value as the monthly update cap. This complex formula seeks to balance general inflation with the specific dynamics of the real estate market. The first reference will be published at the beginning of the year, marking the start of this new regulatory phase that replaces previous competitiveness guarantee tools. This development is crucial for open data, as it requires the periodic publication of structured and accessible official statistics for public analysis. Transparency in INE data enables civil society to verify compliance with regulations and understand the forces shaping the rental market. Moreover, the availability of these indicators fosters the creation of independent tools that empower citizens, demonstrating how open public statistics serve as a foundation for fair and measurable social policies.
