So a new tenant is in the legal profession. Yes I can see you smiling...
Viewed the property, signed the tenancy agreement and then says it's above market rent and wants a rent reduction of $100 per week. Has applied to TT for an independent review under section 25.
I have supporting evidence from the property next door (mirror image but smaller and only single garage) at the same rent. The rent is at the lower end of the range from a rent appraisal commissioned last month. However it still sits higher than the MBIE figures.
Does anyone have any experience with this clause in a similar situation? I would have thought this clause was more intended for where a fixed term rolls onto another and the rent goes up quite a bit.
Any help much appreciated, particularly other TT decisions that may assist.
