11.1. New Tenancy

The only controls on the level of the rent on a new tenancy are what the market is prepared to pay.

The level of rents varies enormously over the country, and they can even do so within regions for similar properties.

So it may not be easy to determine the market rent for your property.

You need to look at local adverts to see the rents that are being advertised and visit some of the advertised properties to see how they compare with your own!

Once a rent has been agreed, and a tenancy agreement has been signed, there are then very specific controls on further increases in the level of the rent during the period of the tenancy.
