I think it's sometimes the shock aspect. We review all rents annually, therfore RRA isnt going to affect this process. The result is communicated in writing to each T. Therfore, there is an expectation of an annual review. The rent...

Maybe. As its only about £90 for a gas dafe you voluntarily shorten the time between visits to day 9 months. Then you get flex. Also you make it sound that T is reasonable. Ask them 4 months out what...
