- How do I know whether the rent increase was included in the fixed term agreement?
You can check your rental agreement and see if it says that your rent will be increased during your fixed term agreement.
If your rent can be increased during your fixed term agreement, your rental agreement might include a term like:
- “Your rent will be increased during the fixed term agreement by $50 per week. Your rent cannot be increased by more than $50 per week during the fixed term agreement.”
- “Your rent can be increased during the fixed term agreement by reference to the metropolitan rent index. Your rent cannot be increased by more than the amount calculated using the metropolitan rent index.”
If your rental agreement does not include a term that your rent can be increased during the fixed term agreement, then your rental provider is not allowed to increase it during the fixed term period.
