3. How much notice do I need to give to increase the rent?
For periodic tenancies the landlord must give the tenant at least 60 days’ written notice to increase the rent, in addition to a period allowed to correctly serve the notice. There is no limit to how much a landlord may increase the rent, as long as the rent is not increased excessively above market rate.
For periodic tenancies, the rent cannot be increased within 180 days of the beginning of the tenancy, nor within 180 days of the last rent increase.
Rent can only be increased for fixed-term tenancies where provision for this is written into the tenancy agreement.
For boarding house tenancies, the landlord must give the tenant at least 28 days written notice to increase the rent.作者: csamzhou 时间: 2014-2-4 12:40:15

(1) The rent payable in respect of any tenancy may be increased by the landlord provided all of the following conditions are complied with:
(a) the landlord shall give the tenant notice in writing of the increase; and
(b) that notice shall specify the amount of the increased rent and the day upon which the increased rent shall become payable; and
(c) the day upon which the increased rent shall become payable shall be not less than 60 days (or, in the case of a boarding house tenancy, not less than 28 days) after the date on which that notice is given; and
(d) the rent shall not be increased within 180 days after the date on which the last increase took effect; and
(e) in the case of a tenancy which is not subject to annual rent adjustment, the rent shall not be increased within 180 days after the date of the commencement of the tenancy; and
(f) in the case of a tenancy which is subject to annual rent adjustment, no rent increase shall take effect—
(i) less than 60 days (or, in the case of a boarding house tenancy, 28 days) after the notice required by paragraph (a) is given; and
(ii) other than on the specified date in any year or with effect on the next day on which any rent is to be paid within 28 days after the specified date in any year; and
(g) a landlord under a fixed-term tenancy—
(i) may not increase the rent during the term of the tenancy unless permitted by the provisions of the tenancy agreement to do so; and
(ii) may do so only in accordance with this section and any such provisions of the tenancy agreement; and
(h) where the Tribunal has made an order under section 25 and that order is still in force, the rent shall not be increased to an amount in excess of the amount specified in the order.
(1A) The provisions referred to in subsection (1)(g) may take the form of the provisions set out in Schedule 1.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a tenancy is subject to annual rent adjustment where—
(a) it is the landlord's practice (the proof of which shall lie on the landlord)—
(i) to review the rent annually; and
(ii) to adjust the rent on a specified day in each year; and
(b) provision to that effect is included in the tenancy agreement or the tenant is otherwise informed of the practice in writing before the commencement of the tenancy.
(3) A notice of an increase in rent lawfully given under this section shall, unless it is withdrawn by the landlord, have the effect of varying the tenancy agreement in accordance with the terms of the notice.
(4) Where a landlord has given a notice to increase the rent and subsequently realises that, because of—
(a) some error in calculating the day on which the increased rent is to become payable or in the manner in which that day is expressed in the notice; or
(b) some delay in serving the notice,—
the day fixed in the notice for the increased rent to become payable is in contravention of subsection (1), the landlord may, with the agreement of the tenant or (failing such agreement) with the consent of the Tribunal, give to the tenant a further notice varying the original notice so as to bring the terms of the original notice into accord with the provisions of that subsection.
(5) Every notice given under subsection (4) shall be in writing, specifying the amount of the increased rent and the day upon which the increased rent shall become payable.
(6) The Tribunal shall not give its consent under subsection (4) unless it is satisfied—
(a) that the error or the delay was inadvertent; and
(b) that the landlord has sought to correct the matter as soon as practicable; and
(c) that it would not be unfair to the tenant to allow the original notice to be varied in the manner proposed.作者: BitByte 时间: 2014-3-4 11:05:15
