求个租房法律的解答 （已经回答）

赵律师你好

简单叙述下，
09年12月8号和大楼签订的1年的租房合同，价格是440/PW
在合同期内，10年7月中旬大楼说要加租，加到450/PW， 9月开始生效。那时候人在国内，没有收到信，10月回来后和BUILDING MANAGER说我们签订的一年的合同，规定是440/PW，而且你加租的信发的时候我们在国内，没有收到，所以也没有在那个提前60天收到提醒，BUILDING MANAGER说查一下，过几天给答复。

后来收到EMAIL回复，说
The law legally allows the landlord to increase the rent the rent after 180 days of the commencing contract.

The landlord legally gave you notice of 60 days that your rent was to increase to $450 per week on the 22/07/10 to take effect on the 24/09/10.

这意思是说就算有合同房东也可以加租么？而且我们10月中旬才回来的，合同到期是10年1月7日。 我应该怎么回复？谢谢

莣卻啲J朢

理解lz的意思 既然签的是fixed term contract 一方如果要vary part of the contract 应该是要得到另一方的consent. 可是landlord 的回复给我的感觉就是他是有理有拒的.
Mayb the landlord has the right to alter the price unilaterally n legally...
大律师是不是还在holiday呢 lol

我只知道即使有合同在提前很早提醒还是可以加的，哎？我又有一个问题延伸出来。那如果你不愿意接受加价，可以在他加价的那天合同未满前合法搬出来吗？
sorry。。。有点跑题。

呵呵～给他回信说的是信我没收到，因为那时候在国内，如果要加租，我同意在合同到期后的那天加～不知道明天收到什么样的回复～

莣卻啲J朢

会不会是本来的contract里就有那么一个clause saying that "the landlord has the right to increase the rent after 180 days of the commencing contract. AND

The landlord legally gave you notice of 60 days prior to the action."

contract 里有个REVIEW， 有写180天后可以加租
大楼说如果再签1年，就可以让新的RENT从新签的日期开始生效，要不然就要从9月开始。
我跟他说签半年吧·180天后我们在REVIEW～

反正发信时人不在NZ，大楼还跟我说用EMAIL和从门下塞信2种方法通知的我
大楼也不老实啊。。。不过我也是。。。

哈～这个就要等专业答案了。。。
既然房东有权利加租，那我们也应该有权利SAY NO吧。。。

合同上有review条款，而且按照条款执行，那人家加房租就是合法的。

至于你在国内，这个不是对方的责任。人家只需要发信到你最后被他们知道的地址。

所以不觉得你有什么足够理由争论的。

fix term 房东有权加租，而且合同有写明。可是因为是Fixed term，你需要住到租约满为止，如果你提前搬走，需要支付赔偿的。

但是他们发信的目的是为了通知我，如果我没有被通知到这个信不就是白发了么。。。
看看最后BUILDING怎么回复我吧～

您好，landlord的做法没有错误，因为是符合Residential Tenancy Act相关条款的，详情参考以下：

24 Rent increases
(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.
