A rental provider must give you at least 60 days’ notice in writing of any proposed rent increase. If the rental provider gives you less than 60 days’ notice, the proposed increase will be invalid.
Have I been given enough notice?
A rent increase cannot come into effect until the day after the 60-day notice period has ended.
The notice period will begin when you are estimated to have received the notice. When you are estimated to have received the notice will depend on how it was delivered to you.
If the rental provider delivered the notice by hand or via email, the proposed rent increase can come into effect 61 days later.
Additional time must be allowed when the notice is delivered by regular or registered post. How much additional time is based on Australia Post’s delivery time estimates.
