$150 a week increase then a few weeks later given 90 days to leave

There are definitely LLs out there with zero scruples...

See the Stuff article - tenant had their rent increased by $150 a week - definitely well over the top - and then once that's in place gave her 90 days to vacate for 'renovations'.

Reading between the lines - the high increase was to get her out of her own accord - it didn't work so hence the 90 days termination.

I wonder if in these situations it would be worth it for the tenant to go to TT and get the rent increase back?

cheers,

Donna

I would think there’s a lot more to it than just the dog.
The current landlord took her and her son in after reading about her situation in the press.
A person doesn’t do that then try to get them to leave a few weeks later unless there’s a very good reason.
