IHRU rents unchanged in 2024, but general rents increase by 6.94%

Want to rent a house in 2024? Contact the real estate agency Casa no Minuto and let's start searching today! But first, understand what the rent prices will be next year.

IHRU income will not be updated in 2024.

The rents of the heritage belonging to the Housing and Rehabilitation Institute (IHRU) will not be updated.

IHRU has just announced that none of the 14 thousand tenants will have an increase in the monthly installment they pay for the house.

The decision is already repeated from the previous year, and, according to Notícias ao Minuto, "justified, in a statement, based on the current economic context, marked by international instability and conflicts with unpredictable consequences".  

What is the objective of the decision? "Supporting the most vulnerable families, safeguarding their incomes and contributing to keeping their right to housing safe," as read in the news.  

Overall, incomes will be updated by 6.94%  

Outside of the affordable rents program, in general, rents in Portugal will be updated by 6.94% in 2024.

However, the Government approved a 4.94% increase in income support, for families up to the 6th tier with effort rates of 35%.  

This is in order to minimize the impact of the monthly rent increase that tenants will have to pay next year due to inflation.

This was the solution that the Government found as an alternative to a new limit on rent updates, as was done for 2023, with the maximum limit set at 2%.
