Hi everyone and sorry if probably being a bit thick, but here goes:

3. The first rent increase date after 11th February 2003 is……..

What date is required here? I’m intending to increase the rent in July.

Is it the date I first notified the tenant that I would be increasing the rent last time, which was May 2020 or the date that increase started (which was Sept 2020). Or am I way off and it’s something else completely.

The last increase was mutually agreed without using this form.

Many thanks

Helen

That’s right. And if this increase is the first you’ve made after the tenancy has been granted, then its the date this Increase ( on Form 4 ) takes effect.

Hi Jenny
I am still confused.
I have not increased the rent since the tenant moved in 5 years ago.
Still trying to work out what date to put in Q3
Do I leave it blank or do I put in the date of the rent increase
Any advice appreciated thanks Derek
