Document background
The Landlord's Notice Proposing A New Rent is a fundamental document in New Zealand's residential tenancy system, designed to facilitate formal communication of rent increases between landlords and tenants. Under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, landlords must provide at least 60 days' written notice before implementing any rent increase, and can only increase rent once every 12 months. This notice serves as the official mechanism for proposing such increases and must include specific information to be legally valid, including current rent, proposed new amount, and effective date. The document ensures transparency in the rental increase process and helps maintain clear communication between parties while complying with New Zealand's tenancy laws.
