Letter Writing: Notice of Rent Increase in House Rents to Tenants

Increasing rent can be a minefield, It can be difficult to raise rent without causing a backlash, from maintaining compliance with local laws to potentially losing loyal tenants.

 

This isn’t to say you shouldn’t or can’t raise your rent. It simply means that you must have done your homework and prepared extensively.

You shouldn’t add a sum to tenants’ monthly payments without doing some market research beforehand. Increasing rent might not lead to greater profit margins if it means your property falls outside of the competitive bracket in your neighbourhood.
