Modified rent control area restrictions - other costs a landlord may face

In this section, we ask you to consider:

  • any other circumstances where you think that rent increases above the level of the cap should be permitted.
  • how these measures could apply in settings where there are additional services included in the agreement with the tenant, such as in rural settings or in supported accommodation.
24. Are there any other cost increases for rental properties that would justify raising the rent above the level of the rent cap?
25. Are there any other circumstances under which landlords should be allowed to raise rents above the level of the rent cap?
