Document background
A Raise Rent Notice is a critical document in Australian residential tenancy management, required whenever a landlord or property manager intends to increase the rent for a residential property. This document must be used during an ongoing tenancy agreement when the landlord wishes to adjust the rent amount upward. The notice must comply with various state and territory residential tenancy acts, which stipulate specific requirements such as minimum notice periods (typically 60-90 days), maximum frequency of increases, and prescribed formats. The document serves as formal written notification to tenants and must include essential information such as the current rent, proposed new amount, effective date, and calculation method. It forms part of the official record of the tenancy and may be required in tribunal proceedings if the increase is disputed.
