Ozi | If I want to increase the rent of my tenant in the UK at the end of the agreement how much can I do it by? |
Should such a clause have been included in the current teancay agreement or if I want to retain this tenat am I entitled to increse the rent by a certain percentage for the new tenancy agreement? |
 |

unless there is a clause in the contract then you can legally do it by any amount you want but you dont want to scare your tenants away or make it unaffordable for them to be there.
I would recommend between 10-15% however talk to your tennents first and make sure that this is within their budget.
Have a look at www.rightmove.co.uk at similar properties and their rental value at present also look in talking to letting agents and see what they would advise.
It is much easier to keep a nice tennent in the property so dont be too harsh. Once the increase is in place present them with the new agreement and advise that this is due to inflation etc and write them a personlised letter with a break down of your reaserch etc, this will mean they are less likely to run a mile! |

u can but only if your current tenent agree, u can get them to do this by paint the flat or puttin new carpets so u can justify it, but u might hav some probs, if u do really want hight rent then mss me im an agent based in e1, we cover from shoreditch - down to stratfor n doclands! |

if the old agreement is at an end you can charge whatever you like with the new agreement but dont get too greedy or you will have an empty house and an agreement only you agree with |
|

You can charge what you like for rent if it's a new agreement, but if you want to keep your current tenant you should give them at least 4 weeks notice of your intention and explain exactly why you're putting up their rent |
|

Don't increase it more than 10% of the current rent. hae to take into account that there is inflation felt by both you and the tenant. So be fair, not forgetting that you also want to make money. But don't be greedy. Also, if it is a good tenant, you might want to keep them as good ones don't come by very easily. |

you will more than likely have to notify the tennant in writing so that they can decide whether or not to stay in the property |

I'm sure it can go up with the rate of inflation, any more than that is surely against the law... |
|

It depends on the clause in the contract!Usually its by the rate of inflation, but today the Bank rate is considered to be fair.
However if you don`t want an empty flat, negotiate with your tenant and agree as to the conditions such as decoration,security and maintenance of the property. You are best going through a mediator such as The Rent Tribunal. |

You can try to increase the rent by as much as you like, but likewise they can contest it and get the local council to get you to only increase it by what is reasonable for the area. |

Explain to the tenant that you're struggling financially and then work out a plan that works for both of you. I'm sure he/she wouldn't mind paying £10 extra a week if they know they're helping to keep food on your table.
Just be sure not to go and collect the rent in your new Porsche 911 or flash BMW. |

As much as you like - but of course the tenant doesn't have to continue to rent from you - if the lease ends they can move if they feel that the rent is too high! |
