Your post is confusing. The first paragraph contradicts the last.
Are rents increasing 30 percent more than the government stated inflation rate (of about 3%)? That would mean they are going up about 4%. Or do you mean 30 percentage points more than the government inflation rate, putting them at about 33%.
Then in your last paragraph you say they are going up at “the lowest rate in 8 years”.
What are you trying to say here?
