If the rental provider wants to increase your rent, they must provide notice in writing using Consumer Affairs Victoria’s official ‘Notice of proposed rent increase’ form. In the notice, the rental provider needs to tell you:
- how much the rent will increase,
- how the rental provider has calculated the increase,
- what you can do if you think the increase is too much.
The notice can be delivered to you by hand, regular or registered post, or by email if you have consented to receiving emails.
A notice that isn’t in the correct form or isn’t given to you correctly will be invalid.
