Tenancy regulation plan
This article shows you how to create and manage rent control plans for tenancies. Read a separate article on how to control rent in LAFT.
Regulatory plans are useful to use for several reasons:
- If you have contracts that are not necessarily to be regulated after one year, but have a separate agreement to be regulated, for example, every 5 years.
- You can set a separate rate for regulation. For example, if you regulate based on the CPI, you can specify for a single tenancy that it should only be regulated by x% of the CPI the next time it is regulated.
- You can also choose to exclude regulation on a tenancy completely, if you have tenancies that will never be regulated. You will still be able to invoice these tenancies. Otherwise, you can choose to exclude invoicing as well.
Here's how to add a zoning plan to a tenancy:
If you do not fill in the zoning plan fields, the tenancy will follow the “standard” approach. LAFT will then propose indexation after 12 months and group regulation 36 months after the tenancy start date.
If the tenancy is not to be regulated, uncheck the box for this. The fields where you can enter a regulation plan will then be deactivated, and the tenancy will not appear on the tenancy regulation page.
Leave the checkbox “on” if the tenancy is to be regulated. Now you can enter a regulation frequency. In the example above, the tenancy will be regulated every 2 years (instead of every year which is the default).
You can also choose whether the next regulation date should follow the tenancy start date (2 years after the move-in date), or set a custom date. In the example above, the tenancy will be adjusted for the first time on 01.06.2025 (after 3 years), and then be adjusted every 2 years. After the custom date has passed, the regulation frequency (if you have set one) will start to apply.
You can also set a separate regulation rate for this tenancy. In the example above, it will only be adjusted at 80% of the rate you are adjusting at.
Example: A lease with a regulation percentage set to 80% and a price regulation factor set to 5% will have the price adjusted up by 80% of 5%, i.e. 4%.
On the page where you regulate this will be presented like this:
