I am a private tenant (my cousins friend). We agreed that I would have a 3 year contract in which I would have first rights to buy the house and if I did not want it buy by then, they would want to sell. We agreed a rent of £500 per month, in which the rent would be REVIEWED TWICE yearly at 6 monthly intervals.
After the first 6 months, she said she wanted to put the rent up to £550 as intrest rates has rose, which we said fine, that was May 07 (we moved in Nov 06). She asked us 2 weeks ago if we knew if we were in a position to buy yet. She knows I am expecting a baby In Dec 07 and that I will starting maternity leave soon. So I said no, not till after maternity would we look into it, as I am going to be on less income, which should make no difference as at the end of the day, we have a 3 year contract. I have received a txt from her today saying she wants to increase the rent, again, as interest up to £600. Firstly, the next review wouldnt be up till Nov so that is against the . . .
