Everything going up, looks like at the end of the tenancy my tenant will get an increase from 1595 to 1750 an increase of £155 less than 10%. Mortgage costs have gone up so much.

Hello there. Thanks for your video. Just a quick question to ask. I've been a tenant at my current address some where in west Yorkshire, starting with an initial 6 months contract and been on the roll on periodic, after that. it's a one bedroom flat with £400 monthly rent. I just received an email from the agency, managing the property, informing that they want to arrange a meeting to discuss the rent increase. my question is how much increase (%) they can ask up to and is there a cap for it (government imposed cap)? Also how much wiggle room there is and how low can I bring it down (by norm). cheers

Hello When there is an increase in the payment of rent for a house, will the contract have to be changed ?

Do you have to pay section 13 price? If you refuse give alternative amount do you continue paying your original rent even though contract finished? Seems roll on contract.

But mine increased directly 50%.
1 year I pay 1050 but now he comes to 1500. Before he said 1300, then 1350 then 1400 and now 12 days left he is keep on 1500 otherwise leave. I'm very stressed

I see a major in balance coming. Those landlords where their interest payments have gone up will still be worse off even with large increase rents either leave the business or accept lower profit. Those landlords with fixed rates not finished yet may get greedy and take advantage of the situation. Then those landlords with fixed rates not finished charge a minimal increase. So you end up with some one paying £1, 600 and another paying £1, 300 for the exact same like for like property and how can that continue

I am on periodic tenancy. The landlord wants to increase 10 month after the last increase. Is this legal?

This information is dramatically out of date and not current for the whole of the uk.
