Document background
The Room Rent Increase Notice is a crucial document in Australian residential tenancy management, required when property owners or managers wish to increase the rent for a room in a residential property. This notice must be used in compliance with state-specific legislation, which typically mandates minimum notice periods (usually 60 days) and limits on frequency of increases (usually once per 12 months). The document serves as formal communication to the tenant and must include specific details such as the current rent, proposed new rent amount, effective date of the increase, and any relevant justification. It's particularly important in shared housing situations, student accommodation, and rooming houses where individual room rentals are common. The notice must be properly served to the tenant and a copy retained for records.
