Create a rent increase notice

Use this service to create a rent increase notice for a tenant with a private residential tenancy.

You must send your tenant this notice as part of increasing the rent for a private residential tenancy.

The process is different for other types of tenancy. Check rent increase rules for different tenancy types.

To create the notice, you’ll need the following information:

• your name
• your tenant’s name
• the property’s address
• the tenancy start date
• the current rent you charge
• the amount you want to increase the rent to
• the date you want the rent to increase
• the date you last increased the rent, if applicable
• your letting agent’s name and address, if you’re using one
