In the case of a temporary rental agreement (over a set period), your landlord can only increase the rent if you agree. If you do not agree, the rent can only be increased after the end of the term. The termination must be served in writing, indicate how much the rent increases and the day the increased rent is due. The owner must keep a copy of the notification. If the landlord doesn`t give the right notification, he can: Most of me are on periodic rentals, since in many cases £300 for a new contract is in my opinion usery, but it`s often not the landlord who has a say or benefits from it. It is very difficult to make a decision to increase the rent of a property if you have a good tenant, and I appreciate all the comments in this forum about good tempting/landlord relations, but in our case the tenant had already rented it and had to move when the other tenant went to university. She was and still is a good tenant and we agreed on the reduced rent (taking into account all your comments), but during the negotiations on this reduced rent (400 for a newly furnished apartment with two bedrooms on the edge of the beach with parking, no head tax or the price of water! against 650.00 for a very similar accommodation and what she previously paid together, That`s 325 a month, she had always insisted she couldn`t afford the first 500 we asked for as single tenants. She was not prepared to share with someone, but now we have to put the rent, despite your comments, you should not put the rent because you could get more, we are below 250. 00 per month and in this economic climate, and if there are many people looking for housing in our region, we can no longer keep the rent so low. We are between the devil and the deep blue sea, because it is a good tenant, but here we have a precious good that someone else essentially appreciates and that we pay for it. Unpleasant situation About 5 weeks ago I received an email from a line from the agency he uses, and he claims that I have orally accepted a £100.00 rent increase. I`ve never done that. My current rent started at £450.00 and over the years, with the various increases of £25.00 per time, it has risen to £625.00.

If a landlord asks for much more than what is charged for similar properties in the area, the tenant can apply to the rental court. The court could order a reduction in the rent. The tenant must prove that his rent is much higher than the rent of similar houses in the same neighborhood. I don`t intend to be greedy, but I have to exhaust some of the falling rising costs. With the turnover tax planned by the current government, I will have to consider significant rent increases as soon as we know what final policy has been agreed in Parliament only to keep real estate on + maintenance + insurance, etc. Regulated tenants who are entitled to fair rent are subject to different rules. My tenants are coming to the end of their 12-month fixed lease and it will now return to a rollover, so this would be the usual point to check the rental price.
