Section 43M Modification of rent-increase notice by partiesF1

This section does not apply in relation to a current tenancy if the permitted rate is 0%.

Anything specified in a rent-increase notice in accordance with section 43L(3)(a) may be modified by agreement between the landlord and tenant under the current tenancy.

But the landlord and the tenant may not modify a rent-increase notice under subsection (2) so as to increase the rent payable under the current tenancy by more than the permitted rate.

A modification made to a rent-increase notice by virtue of subsection (2) ceases to have effect if the notice subsequently prompts a referral to a rent officer under section 43N(2).
