    Hi everyone,

    My landlord gave me 1 month notice (May 2017) for a rent increase of 6% after an increased of 2% last September (2016). I am renting a en-suite room in a "pressure zone" (since September 2013), all bills included, in a shared house where each tenant has their own contract. Known that the max increase allowed is 4% and the 24 months between increases once I am just renting a room, do this rules not apply?

    Thank you

    Is the landlord or owner also living in the house?

    Then the rules apply to you (unless there is a member of ll's family living there).

    Talk to the LL/Threshold, lodge a case with the RTB in that order.

    Sounds like LL is trying to work within the rules and has misinterpreted them a bit tbf. Assert your rights for sure, but do it in a decent way, as on this read it doesn't sound like they were doing anything beyond thinking "4% per year is the cap", which I've heard many say.
