A landlord cannot treat a rent increase as informal or automatic; the signed agreement and applicable law must be checked first.
The lease should state the rent, payment dates and any lawful mechanism for revision.
Any increase should comply with mandatory rules governing the type and duration of the private residential lease.
The landlord should give clear written information before the revised amount is due.
A tenant should not accept a verbal change without understanding whether the contract and registration require amendment.
Both parties should keep the written agreement and proof of payments.
Current official guidance or legal advice should be obtained before applying an increase because statutory limits and procedures may change.
