Is my rent increase allowed?

Answer a few questions about your Queensland rent increase notice. You'll see whether the timing follows the law, the earliest date the new rent can legally start, and what to say to your agent. Want the rules in plain English first? Read Queensland rent increase rules.

Filled in with an example. Replace it with your own details.
What kind of place do you rent?
Which situation are you in?

The date the rent last went up at this property. The 12-month rule covers the property, not just you, so an increase for a previous tenant counts too. Your agreement must list this date.

Was the notice given to you in writing?

A letter, email or message through your agent's app counts. A phone call or a chat at an inspection doesn't.

Some rules don't apply to exempt property owners, and QCAT can allow an earlier increase in cases of undue hardship. If your situation is unusual, call the RTA or QSTARS.
