From 25 November 2025, a rental provider must give you at least 90 days’ notice in writing of any proposed rent increase. If the rental provider gives you less than 90 days’ notice, the proposed increase will be invalid.
If you received a notice of rent increase before 25 November 2025, your rental provider must give you at least 60 days’ notice.
Have I been given enough notice?
A rent increase cannot come into effect until the day after the 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 91 days later (if given on 25 November 2025 onwards) or 61 days later (if given before 25 November).
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.
