    I've been renting this place for years and at the moment I'm paying under market rate (its covering his mortgage). I have a good standing relationship with my LL (we've been friends years). The house is in an rpz. Can the landlord just bump up the rent hundreds to market rates? I'm not sure if I can afford it. I've never had a rent increase in this place. Does he just have to put it up 4%

    I'll check out the calculator. A 4% increase would be fine. To bring it to market rates would be a lot more than 4%

    Input your details into the RTB calculator here:

    If your rent hasn't been increased in many years the permitted increase is going to be more than 4% but the increase is unlikely to be to full market rate.
