charge. 

3. Rent arrears 

If you have rent or service charge arrears when this tenancy is 

granted, you agree to pay off those arrears. If you do not make

to end this tenancy. 

4. Changes in Rent and service charge 

4.1 We may increase your rent on the first Monday in April 

following the date on which this tenancy agreement

September before the April when the increase is made plus a 

further ½ %. 

4.2 Any subsequent rent increase will be in line with the 

provisions of Sections 13 and 14 of the Housing Act 1988.

not less than one month’s notice in writing. The notice 

shall specify the date when the increase will take effect. 

You have the right to refer the notice to a Rent Assessment 

Committee to have a market rent determined. In that case 

the maximum rent payable for the following year shall be 

the rent so determined by the Rent Assessment Committee. 

However you do not have the right to refer the notice 

of variation to increase or decrease the rent on the first 

Monday in April following the date on which this tenancy 

agreement commenced. After the first years increase we will
