# Rent adjustment

In this step you choose how the rent can be adjusted in future.

Various arrangements for adjusting the rent can be agreed in the Immodio rental agreement, including

[**graduated rent**](/en/anleitung/mietverhaltnisse/mietverhaltnis-anlegen/mietanpassung/staffelmiete.md),\
[**index-linked rent**](/en/anleitung/mietverhaltnisse/mietverhaltnis-anlegen/mietanpassung/indexmiete.md) or adjustment in line with the\
[**local comparative rent** ](/en/anleitung/mietverhaltnisse/mietverhaltnis-anlegen/mietanpassung/vergleichsmiete.md)(which is the normal case).

You can find detailed information on each option on the corresponding subpages.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Written form requirement for graduated and index-linked rents:**

In Immodio there is currently **no way** to meet the legally required written form digitally when agreeing a graduated rent (Section 557a BGB) or an index-linked rent (Section 557b BGB). At the end of the rental agreement process we therefore provide you with an additional agreement that has to be printed out and signed by hand by both parties. If the written form is not observed, the agreed rent adjustment (graduated or index-linked) is regarded as **not validly agreed**.
