Landlord calls "Is it ok to put up the rent - what can you afford?"

We are not going to respond until they have given us formal notice of what they wish to raise the rent to.
How exactly can we confirm either way if they do not give us a figure?
I believe they realise that raising the rent further overprices this flat from the market, and as such are hesitant to give us a straight forward letter stating their intended rate. The average TTL in our are is currently 34 days, and increasing the rent to the tune of 1 months payments PA, they would be just as well off in the coming year to let the rent remain the same.
I would expend your energy on seeking a new property rather than worrying about your landlord may or may not do.0 -

Yeah poor choice of words. Sorry! But the basic advice stands. If the LL wants to raise the rent there is a right and wrong way to do it. No reason why the tenant should be teaching the LL how to do things which are not in the tenant's own interests.0
