Document background
The Notice of Intent to Raise Rent is a crucial document in Australian property management, required whenever a landlord or property manager plans to increase the rent for a residential or commercial property. This notice must be issued in accordance with Australian state and territory legislation, which typically requires between 60 to 90 days' notice before implementing any rent increase. The document serves as formal written notification to tenants and must include specific details such as the current rent, proposed new amount, percentage increase, and effective date. It can be used for both periodic and fixed-term tenancy agreements, though timing restrictions may apply. The notice must comply with local regulations regarding frequency of increases and maximum allowable amounts, while maintaining professional communication standards and protecting both landlord and tenant rights under Australian law.
