Rent
Rent is the money paid by the tenant for the right to live in a property.
Although rent is usually money, rent may also include any goods or services charged for the right to live in a property. Rent doesn’t include any money paid or owed as a bond.

It’s very important for landlords and tenants to keep accurate records about the tenancy.
Rent can be increased by a landlord if the correct notice period is followed and certain conditions are met. Rent can also be reduced.
Tenants and landlords need to know what to do when rent is overdue, and where they can go for help.
Tenancy Services has provided some guidance on rent discussions.
