The 10% rent is for UNFURNISHED FLATS. The Landowners have circumvented this on SEMI FURNISHED and FULLY FURNISHED FLATS that allow them to increase more than 10% since it was mentioned in the law that only unfurnished flats are allowed the 10% maximum increase.

Good luck and I hope you get the favor your way. My rent is due for renewal this september so I'm hoping they won't go beyond 10% as well since it's a semi furnished flat.
