IGP-M is out, IPCA is in; see what the courts have decided in the fight between tenants and landlords

Rent inflation reached 37% in mid-2021

12/30/2021

More companies are getting in court the replacement of the IGP-M (General Market Price Index) in their rental contracts. The central argument of these actions is that the rise in the index unbalanced agreements closed, in general, years before the beginning of the pandemic, in March 2020, which would justify their renegotiations.

For judge Maria Cristina Barros Gutierrez Slaibi, of the 3rd Civil Court of Rio de Janeiro, the legislation provides that, in cases where the provision becomes excessively onerous for one of the parties, representing an extreme advantage for the other, the debtor may request a review of the contract.
