The rental market in the Czech Republic is governed primarily by the Civil Code (Act No. 89/2012 Coll.). The system balances tenant protection with strong property rights for landlords.
Minor Repair Cap
1,500 CZK
Rent Cap (3yr)
20% Maximum
Deposit Max
3 Months Rent
1. Security Deposits (Jistota)
Landlords can request a security deposit to cover unpaid rent or damages.
- Limit: Maximum 3 months' rent (excluding utilities).
- Interest: Tenants are entitled to interest on their deposit, usually at standard bank rates unless otherwise agreed in the contract.
- Return: The deposit must be returned promptly at the end of the tenancy, minus documented debts.
2. Rent Increases
The Czech Republic uses a free-market system for initial rent, but subsequent increases are regulated:
- Statutory Cap: If not otherwise specified in the lease, a landlord can propose an increase of up to 20% over 3 years.
- Market Comparison: The proposed rent must not exceed the standard market rent for comparable properties in the area.
- Indexation: Most professional landlords use an inflation indexation clause (CPI) which bypasses the 20% rule.
3. Maintenance and "Minor Repairs" (2026)
The division of maintenance is strictly defined by Decree 308/2015 Coll.:
- Landlord: Responsible for major structural issues, boiler failures, and large electrical/plumbing repairs.
- Tenant: Responsible for "ordinary maintenance" and "minor repairs." For 2026, individual minor repairs are defined as those costing under 1,500 CZK (e.g., sink unblocking, lock replacement).
4. Eviction Procedures
- Standard Termination: For indefinite leases, a 3-month notice period is required.
- Sanctions: For "gross" breaches, a 1-month notice applies.
- Immediate Termination: If a tenant fails to pay rent/utilities for 3 or more months, the landlord can terminate immediately after providing a remedial warning.
- Self-Help: Changing locks without a court bailiff is strictly illegal.
5. Required Disclosures
- PENB (Energy Certificate): Landlords MUST provide an energy performance label.
- Service Breakdown: Transparent disclosure of how utility advances are estimated and settled annually.
