Rent in Alcoy: what tenants actually declared
Five years have added 28,1 % to the reference, well ahead of general inflation. 3.022 declared leases sit behind it: enough to inform, small enough that one street can sit outside the range. The reference rent for a flat in Alcoy is 4,49 €/m², at the bottom of the national range, where a difference of a few euros a month separates very different buildings.
Rents declared on income-tax returns for main-residence leases, not asking prices. They lag the market and exclude holiday lets.
