A 2 yr FTT agreement includes provision for rent increase and it is proposed to increase the rent in the last 6 months of that tenancy, from $375pw to $395pw.
At the end of that tenancy, it is proposed to offer the same tenant a new FTT. It’s also proposed that the new FTT rent will be increased further from $395 to $410pw, to catch up with - but not match - market rent fiqures (RBNZ and BC indicate $450.pw) .
This would result in 2 rent increases within a 12-month period. Our aim is to reduce the impact of what could be a significant change for the tenant, otherwise.
Does the expiry of one tenancy and beginning of a new tenancy override the “once per 12 months” rent increase regulation?
