Rent increase advice.

Either

* invite him to tea (tell him you have a chocolate cake), sit down togethr, have a chat about the weather or his kids or whatever, then both sign 2 copies of the new agreement. He keeps one/you keep one.

Since it sounds like you have a copy of the agreement, photocopy it in advance so there's no excuse for him to go off with the only signed copy promising 'to return a copy later'.

* go to his offices and o the same there.

With or without the cake.

Ok final question now as we are pretty much at the finish line with our Landlord and agreed on compromises on both ends.

So if we are to sign a new agreement on say 19th of Decemeber, 1 day before the rent due date, when is the new increase enforceable? do we pay it literally the next day or do are we able to pay our previous rate, then move to the increase for January?
