Hi all,

 

We have been in this house for 3 years now and when we first moved in the rent was advertised as £650. The estate agent managed to get the rent down to £600 as long as we made the garden presentable. Which we did.

 

This time last year our LL wanted to put the rent up and we came to an agreement that if we put a new fence up the LL would keep the rent at £600 for 6 months. We both agreed but the LL never gave us a new tenancy so if we put a new fence up then the LL could of just put the rent up. We needed security.

 

We agreed again in Jan to the same deal and this time we had a tenancy and we have since put a new fence up.

 

The LL wanted to come see the fence and said the rent would be going up with the new tenancy in July to either £650 or £675. (The house is not worth it but that is another thread for another time)

 

Does the LL have to give us notice when increasing the rent or is him telling us sufficient?

 

Many thanks

No. LL can just serve s13 to increase rent. You would then have 28 days to appeal to FTT of VOA, Any new rent would then be fixed for 1 year and not negotiable.

If you have not erected fence, as agreed for reduced rent, then LL will be upset and may decide s21 is better than s13.

Thanks for the advice.

 

Bit in bold - As per my original post We agreed again in Jan to the same deal and this time we had a tenancy and we have since put a new fence up
