Step 3: Go to Rent settings Image Description

Step 4: Select Rent increase Image Description

Step 5: Choose your required option. Image Description

A) Serve notice  (go to Step 6)

B) Notice has already been served (go to Step 7)

Step 6: Choose your start date (this defaults to 60 days in the future if eligible to increase rent) & enter your new weekly rent amount.

Select Review to see how your rent statement will be affected.

Step 7: Choose your start date & enter your new weekly rent amount.

TIP: To select a previous date you can select show all dates.

Upload your written copy of your rent increase that has already been served (this can be done at a later date).

Select Save

TIP: If a rent increase starts and/or ends partway through a rent period, a prorated charge will be created. To avoid this, a rent increase should start on the first day of a rent period (you can see your rent period dates on the current rent statement shown on the page).
