Rent inflation ran at 2.3 percent month on month in Tir 1405, below the 3.1 percent headline rate

The Statistical Centre of Iran's consumer price report for Tir 1405, the Iranian month that ended on 22 July 2026, puts monthly rent inflation at 2.3 percent, point to point rent inflation at 31.7 percent and annual rent inflation at 32.5 percent. Headline monthly inflation for the household basket was 3.1 percent in the same month, so rents rose more slowly than the overall index.

The housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels group reached 442.6 index units in Tir, with monthly inflation of 2.8 percent, point to point inflation of 26.8 percent and annual inflation of 35.5 percent. The housing sub index stood at 432.5 units. Home maintenance and repair services were among the fastest moving items in the group, at 6.7 percent month on month and 83.3 percent point to point.

Tir is normally one of the busiest months in the rental market because the tenant moving season begins then. Housing carries the heaviest weight in the household basket, so the group remains the single biggest influence on living costs even in a month when its monthly rate runs below the average.
