# CPI-linked rent

*Leasing · EU, APAC*

## Short definition

Rent indexed to a published consumer-price index.

## Full definition

Standard escalation in EU and Indian leases. Carries inflation risk for the tenant — negotiate caps (e.g., max 4% per annum) and floors (e.g., min 0%).

## Why this matters for Class A leasing

CPI-linked rent is part of the leasing vocabulary that institutional [Class A](/glossary/class-a) occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across EU, APAC markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so [cross-border](/topics/cross-border-expansion) occupiers can translate quickly.
