Rent index
What the rent estimate on each listing means, and what it doesn't.
General information, not legal advice. For your own case, ask a qualified adviser.
An estimate, not an accusation
Each listing shows the rent range of similar flats in the same barri: from the cheaper tenth to the dearer tenth of what we've seen there in the last 90 days, times the flat's size. It's context, not proof that anyone is breaking the law, and not the official calculation.
What affects the legal limit
Location, size, the building, the previous contract's rent, who the landlord is and legal exceptions can all change the rules for a specific home. Missing or wrong facts in a listing change the result too.
Check the official reference
The state reference index gives a range per specific home and needs its cadastral reference. Ask the advertiser for it and use the official tool before you sign.
