    If the landlord is 'taking the piss' then you dont have to agree to the increase. Telling people to move is way off.

    If you don't agree to the increase, the landlord ask you to leave at the end of the tenancy. Giving notice, obviously. Who would ever agree to an increase if it was a case of the landlord asking to increase the rent and the tenant saying no and getting to stay put? Seriously like. :D I'm not telling people to move. I'm saying pay the increase or as others have said, try to negotiate. If neither works, then yeah, you're a-moving!

    You dont know what you are talking about. The landlord cannot raise the rent above market rate. He cannot 'take the piss' with the rent, its illegal. You assume part 4 rights at the end of the tenancy, the landlord cannot just tell you to leave.

    It appears I got mixed up in my typing in the first post. If the LL is asking for over the market rent, you can stay and don't have to pay more once you show that he/she is asking for above MV (the onus likely being on the tenant to show that). If he/she is raising it to market rate, not much the OP can do, unless they think the LL will struggle to replace them. They'd likely have to pay the same rent if they move elsewhere.

    The tenant doesn't have to do anything but lodge a dispute with the PRTB. The PRTB will then rule it as being market rate or not. There's no onus on the tenant to show anything.

    The tenant has to lodge a dispute - the tenant. Obviously, it's the PTRB who'll decide it, but the landlord isn't going to be going to them, now is he?

    You said the onus was on the tenant to show they're not paying market rent. This is clearly misleading.
