Don't know much about Scotland, but I read the situation as:MrsWassire wrote: »Re: terms of tacit relocation. The contract says "The lease shall run from the Tenth day of December 2009 to the Ninth day of June 2010 and monthly thereafter by tacit relocation until terminated by either party giving two months' written notice to the other party, unless the lease be earlier terminated as hereinafter provided".
Thanks for the replies. I think I'll call Shelter tomorrow. I really don't mind them putting up the rent, but I think a 13% increase is really excessive.
* the increase is above what is allowed for in the contract
* you could refuse to pay, or propose paying what the contract allows for ( RPI increase over 12 months)
* LL could agree (or negotiate something in between)
* or LL could give you 2 months notice and look for a tenant willing to pay a higher rent.....0 -
Thanks. I'm going to actually offer to allow them to increase the rent early, but only to the amount in keeping with the contract. I suspect they haven't even read the contract, it's a church that owns it, I think they just decided they needed more money and would up the rent and picked a figure they wanted!*Insert interesting words here*0

Let us know their response. Hopefully, once you point out what the contract says, being a church they'll agree and go with that..........0
