How much notice does a landlord have to give of a rent increase?

[ViolaCrayola]

I have googled this but found varying information.
I suspect our landlord may raise our rent when our contract ends (end of June) but it would be very useful to know well before this. Is it one month's notice (i.e. end of May) or two months (i.e. end of April) that they need to give us? TIA!

If you have a short term assured tenancy, whatever it says in that.

Best thing would be to contact the agent or if none, the landlord, and tell them you want to stay on. This will then give them a chance to respond, and say, yes, but the rent will increase, or no, I want to put the house on the market, or whatever.

Lots of info here.

Thanks for the replies - when it says

'For a monthly, weekly or fortnightly tenancy one month?s notice of the intended increase is required. For a yearly tenancy, a period of six months' notice is required before the increase can be put into effect.'

Does monthly etc refer to the length of the tenancy or the frequency that you pay rent? We pay monthly but are on a short term assured tenancy of a year. Am currently away but will look at agreement when we get back.

I was thinking of contacting the agency and asking but am wondering if this could prompt a rent rise?
