Importance of the rent index
The qualified rent index plays a crucial role in the tenancy relationship between landlords and tenants. It offers a reliable basis for comparing and evaluating rental prices. The city of Neumarkt began compiling a rent index many years ago in order to increase transparency in the housing market. The current data comes from a representative tenant survey carried out by the EMA Institute, and numerous players in the housing market contributed to it.
The 2024 edition of the rent index is valid immediately and is intended to function as a price barometer. This means that both tenants and landlords receive information to help them better classify the rental prices of their apartments. The rent index reflects the local comparative rent, which is also known as the “net rent”. This is determined depending on various factors such as building age, size, furnishings and living environment.
A well-prepared rent index is important not only for the real estate industry, but also for public administrations such as tax offices, social authorities and housing benefit offices. It serves as a reliable source of information and can help avoid excessive rent increases. With this new rent index, the city of Neumarkt is taking an important step towards more transparency and fairness in the housing market.
