Rent in Germany: cap on new rents until December 31, 2029, deposit of no more than 3 months
The Mietpreisbremse (new rent no higher than the local average plus 10%) has been extended: state regulations apply no longer than December 31, 2029 (law of July 17, 2025, BGBl. 2025 I No. 163). Increases under an existing lease are capped at 20% over 3 years, 15% in shortage areas. The deposit is at most three months’ rent excluding utilities; a tenant leaves with about 3 months’ notice.
What this changes in the calculation
Rent growth in Germany is capped by law; the model should assume indexation of no more than 15 or 20% over 3 years.
