这个贵了点，你要和中介谈一下，首先政府有规定的，可以按照每年的inflation加价。但是那也就是差不多10%而已。一般你360的房子也就加了30快最多40块了。一下子加90实在不合理。
其实根本没有所谓按照inflation来加价的说法，主要的参照依据是market rents，也就是周边同等类型的房子的租金。下面的内容来在Fair Trading Office的网站
How can rent be increased?
Rent may be increased after the fixed term period of the agreement has expired. Before a landlord (other than the Department of Housing) can increase the rent the tenant must be given at least 60 days notice in writing. The notice must show the amount of the increased rent and the day from which the increased rent is to be paid. This also applies where an existing agreement is to be renewed.
If the notice is sent by post at least four working days should be added to the amount of notice, to allow time for the notice to be delivered.
For rent to increase during a fixed term tenancy the agreement must have an additional term showing the amount of the increase or the method of calculating it. A 60 days rent increase notice must still be given.
Challenging rent increases
If a tenant thinks that a proposed rent increase is too high they can:
1. Negotiate
Even though the landlord or agent has given notice they may still agree to reduce the amount of the increase or withdraw it altogether. They may be persuaded by evidence of market rents in your area or what you have done to the premises. You should carefully explain the reasons why you believe the increase is too high in a letter to the landlord.
If the condition of the premises is the reason you think the increase is too high you should raise this with the agent or landlord. For instance, they may be prepared to paint the premises in exchange for the rent increasing. It is up to the landlord to consider the costs involved in any such proposal.
If the landlord agrees on a lower amount of increase this should be put in writing. Another 60 days notice is not necessary. The lower increase becomes due from the same date the original increase was payable.
2. Apply to the Consumer, Trader and Tenancy Tribunal
Tenants can apply to the Tribunal to have a proposed increase reduced or withdrawn, if they believe that the increase is too high. Department of Housing tenants receiving a rent rebate cannot do this.
Applications must be made within 30 days of receiving the rent increase notice. Tenants have to prove that the increase is excessive. The main evidence the Tribunal considers is comparable rents for similar properties in the same area.
Before you apply to the Tribunal you may wish to visit estate agents in your area and gather evidence of the current market rent for properties similar to your own. It is often worthwhile to view the available premises to make sure they are similar (eg size, location, view etc). |
