    hi i am a tenant of 5 years, no problems, rent always paid on time thru a letting agency.

    paid rent today and was informed verbally of a rental increase starting next month

    initially the renting contract was yearly but as its a fairly solid arrangement the agency just set the renewal period to to 6month rent as a matter of course

    As a tenant of 5 years what notice should i receive from the agency to accommodate this rental increase?,

    ive read somewhere before that a long term tenant should receive a month notice for every year of renting before rental increase takes effect?

    Im also aware i should receive written notification from the agency

    Rent increases require 28 days written notice.

    There is no other minimum notice period, so the month notice per year of tenancy is it true.

    Sounds like you could be in year 1 of a 4 year tenancy . The 6 months thing means nothing
