Document background
The Rent Increase Agreement is a crucial document used in Danish property management when landlords wish to implement a rent increase in accordance with Danish tenancy laws. This document is required whenever a landlord seeks to modify the rental amount of an existing lease, whether for residential properties under the Danish Rent Act (Lejeloven) or commercial properties under the Business Rent Act (Erhvervslejeloven). The agreement must include specific statutory notices, calculation methods, and justifications for the increase as required by Danish law. It serves multiple purposes: documenting compliance with legal requirements, providing transparency about the calculation method used, and formally notifying tenants of the change. The document is particularly important in regulated municipalities where additional requirements may apply under the Housing Regulation Act. The Rent Increase Agreement should be used in conjunction with the original lease agreement and must respect notice periods and maximum increase limitations set by Danish legislation.
