Document background
The 60 Day Rent Increase Notice is a critical document in Australian residential tenancy management, required when property owners or their agents wish to increase the rent for an existing tenancy. This notice must be issued in accordance with state and territory residential tenancy laws, which mandate a minimum notice period of 60 days before any rent increase can take effect. The document includes specific details about the current rent, the proposed new rent amount, the effective date of the increase, and complete property and party identification. It serves as both a legal notification and a formal record of compliance with statutory requirements. The notice can only be used within prescribed timeframes, typically not more than once in any 12-month period, and must be delivered to tenants in accordance with proper service requirements under relevant state or territory legislation.
