The tenancy must be one that falls within section 13 of the Act. … The criteria for this are: (cid:127) the tenant must have exclusive occupancy of the Property; (cid:127) the Property must be a dwelling house; (cid:127) the dwelling house must be let as a separate property; (cid:127) the tenant must be an individual; (cid:127) the tenant must occupy the property as their principal home; all these conditions are met in this case. 30.The following criteria must then be satisfied: (cid:127) the tenancy is a periodic tenancy that makes no provision for a rent increase; (cid:127) any rent increase is in the prescribed form; (cid:127) the rent increase must be 52 weeks after the commencement of the tenancy; (cid:127) the rent increase must also be 52 weeks after any previous increase; (cid:127) the notice period for the increase must be at least one month; (cid:127) the notice must be signed by the landlords; (cid:127) the proposed rent must be specified to take effect at the beginning of a new period of the tenancy. … The Tribunal considered the submissions made by the parties. It noted the Notice was defective to the extent the existing rent was incorrectly described as payable pcm. … The Tribunal did not therefore consider the Notice to be invalid for this reason. …
