Can My Rent Be Increased During My Tenancy?

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

The simple answer is Yes but it depends on the type of Agreement you have and other factors. If you are on a fixed term agreement (eg 6 or 12 months) rent can only be increased if a special term is written into the agreement stating that it can be increased. The special term must also state the amount of the increase or how it will be worked out. Your Agent must provide one (1) months notice in writing to you before the increase begins. 
 During periodic agreements, the rent can be increased at any time but you must be given 2 months notice in writing from your Agent.
