Exempt from RPZ question?

missyver · 2022-10-03 18:27:22

We moved out of our home house & put it up for rent in December 2019 at a cheap rent. The RPZ was announced the week after. The property is in a rent pressure zone. We haven’t increased the rent since tenancy commenced. Can anyone clarify if I am exempt from the RPZ rent increases as the property was not rented for 2 years…

Can anyone clarify if I am exempt from the RPZ rent increases as the property was not rented for 2 years prior to the tenancy commencing? I’m finding details on the PRB website confusing.

RPZ applies. The property must be out of the rental market for 2 years AFTER the last time it was rented, before you escape the RPZ rules.
