Simply, no rent increases from 30 March 2020 for six months, or until the COVID-19 pandemic is declared over.

If a rent increase was agreed prior to 30th March 2020, and it was due to take place in the next 6 months, it now cannot take effect until the emergency period is over.

Rent increases are based on market value, so it may not be appropriate to increase the rent at this time.

General maintenance including garden and pool services may be permitted depending on the severity of your issue.

Following the introduction of the COVID-19 Emergency Response Act we believe it would be unlikely that any major changes would be coming however it is unclear.

We are here to help navigate you and your property through this time. We will continue to keep you updated but if you have any questions between now and then, please do not hesitate to contact Zara Singh our General Manager, or your Property Manager here.
