Is the rent increase in favor of the landlord? / Professional rental vacancies

According to Tejarat News, the rental market has run wild this year, and due to the lack of necessary laws in this area and the existence of a capitalist view of the house, the owner and the tenant have faced many tensions.

Unprecedented growth of rent

With a quick look at the files Rent This year, we are witnessing an excessive increase in the rental rate in the market. A rent that does not match the tenant’s income on the one hand and does not meet the expenses of a single-income owner on the other hand. Because from the past until today, due to the lack of necessary laws in the housing market, many people consider the house as a source of income.

This is something that does not happen anywhere in the world. In many European countries, the imposition of heavy taxes has reduced the incentive to earn money from housing for many owners, or even zero.

Rent increase in favor of the landlord?

An unprecedented increase Rent Although on the surface it looks like the owner, but the rising costs of building maintenance on the one hand and the unbridled inflation on the other hand, show another reality.

In this situation, the rent increase cannot sweeten the taste of the owner. Although in the meantime, many tenants believe that the unreasonable increase in rent is in the interest of the owner.

Vacancies in the Professional Leasing Law

Professional leasing, which has been implemented in many countries of the world since the past, can be a factor to protect the rights of tenants. The law that has not been drafted due to the lack of necessary infrastructure and also the lack of attention of the legislators to the rental market in the country.

Of course, the requirement of writing such a law is to change the relationship between landlord and tenant, as well as the direct presence of the Ministry of Housing as the guardian of the rental market. An incident that cannot happen in the country’s rental market these days, because the government does not have much ability to build or provide housing. Therefore, in such a situation, achieving the professional tenancy law seems far from mind.

Increase in rent and migration of tenants to the outskirts

Every year, after the increase in the rent rate, we see a part of the tenants moving to the outskirts of the cities. But this year and based on the published statistics, after the rent rate increased by more than 100% in some areas of Tehran, the number of tenants pushed to the outskirts of the cities increased significantly. Of course, in the meantime, some tenants are forced to rent a room or live in a shed. An incident that speaks of the government’s inability to control the rental market.

The rental market, which is governed by code, cannot submit decisively to laws such as a 20-25% annual rent rate increase or a two-year rental contract. Rather, in the first stage, the necessary infrastructure for professional leasing in the country should be provided so that the established laws become enforceable.

In the meantime, the owners also point to the fact that point-to-point inflation in the country has reached 50% and believe that a 25% increase in rent is not proportionate to these conditions. It seems that some planners and decision-makers, instead of paying attention to the impact of their actions on increasing inflation and prices, put two groups of society against each other.
