What percentage should your property rent increase each year?

The answer to this question depends on the type of property you are renting. If you are renting a commercial property that has a high vacancy rate, then you should expect your rent to rise every year.

If you are renting a commercial property with low vacancy rates and many tenants in the area, then your rent will increase each year by about 3% to 5%. If you are renting a retail space, then your rent will increase by around 5% per year.

If you own a commercial property, you want to make sure that the rent increases each year. There are many reasons for this. One reason is that if the rent remains the same, then the landlord may not work hard enough to find new tenants for your property. Another reason is that if the rent does not increase, then it may be difficult for you to find new tenants who will pay more than what they did last time.

There are also benefits to increasing your commercial property rent every year. One benefit is that it will help you attract new tenants and keep all of your current tenants happy. Another benefit is that it makes it easier for you to make money when you sell your commercial property.
