Rent advice for private tenants
Find out what your landlord or letting agent must do if they want to increase your rent.
Rules on private tenancy rent and rent increases
Your landlord or letting agent must tell you when and how your rent should be paid. If you pay your rent weekly, they must provide you with a rent book.
There are rules on rent increases, which must be followed. These will vary depending on the type of tenancy you have.
If there is a ‘fair usage clause’, you could be asked to pay more if your rent includes utility bills.
