Landlord tip
.
Its always a good idea to have your properties returning market rents. To check what is happening in your area click on the Market Rent link near the bottom of this newsletter. A yearly rent review with your tenants is a good idea via open communication often done during a property inspection. If you feel the rent is low, take with you a printed copy of your regional Market Rent statistics to back up your discussion with your tenant. There are a couple of rules here. A landlord must inform the tenant in writing at least 60 days before putting the rent up or 28 days for a boarding house, and the landlord cannot put the rent up more than once every 6 months. If you do not have a form for rent increases click here for an example that you can use. For more rules on rent increases veiw Part 2 Section24 of the Residential Tenancies Act
