Rent increase

DMoss (Querist) 13 July 2011 This query is : Resolved
The tenant has stayed in the house for 11 months and now the Land lord is asking for increase in rent by 20%. Can he do so? Is there not a SC clause that says that rent can be increased by 10% every 3 years?

Any comments will be appreciated!

SC citation is not applicable to all the properties.

study the rent act of your state if the tenancy comes under protected class, no increase in rent allowed.
