What landlords and tenants should review ahead of the changes planned for 2027–2030.
The Andorran rental market is entering a transition towards the gradual removal of compulsory lease extensions. The aim is to return step by step to the general regime, while keeping safeguards that limit rent increases during the process. The age of each contract and its price per square metre will be decisive. Andorran Government information on the transition process.
For landlords and tenants alike, this change makes it advisable to review the paperwork and plan decisions well in advance.
When does it start to apply?
Law 11/2026 of 4 June comes into force, as a general rule, on 1 January 2027. The provision allowing certain notices to be served in advance took effect earlier. Legal text, fifth final provision.
Which contracts are affected?
The transitional regime covers leases of main and permanent homes signed up to 2021, with exceptions. The exit from compulsory extensions is staggered between 2027 and 2030 according to the age of the lease and the rent.
The exclusions include single-family houses, residential rents of €2,500 a month or more, and certain contracts held by residents without gainful activity (passive residents). Article 1 of the law.
So before proposing a renewal, it is worth gathering the original contract, its annexes and any correspondence exchanged. The signing date alone may not be enough to assess the case.
How much can the rent rise?
For new contracts subject to Article 2, the annual caps for five years depend on the previous rent:
| Previous rent | Maximum annual increase |
|---|---|
| Up to €7/m² | 6% + CPI |
| Over €7 and up to €8/m² | 5% + CPI |
| Over €8 and up to €9/m² | 4% + CPI |
| Over €9 and up to €10/m² | 3% + CPI |
| Over €10 and up to €12/m² | 2% + CPI |
| Over €12/m² | 1% + CPI |
There is a special regime for rents below the parish’s public affordable price, and a CPI safeguard for certain new contracts signed in 2027. Articles 2 and 3 and fourth transitional provision.
Before calculating a new rent, it is advisable to check the documented floor area and separate the items shown on the rent receipt. Applying a percentage without checking its basis can lead to significant differences.
Why timely notice matters
The landlord must give verifiable notice of any renewal or termination permitted under this regime at least six months in advance. Article 1.4.
Preparing the notice in good time and keeping proof of its content and receipt helps to avoid disputes.
