How can a Landlord serve a rent review notice increasing the rent from a review date that was years ago?
The short answer is that, unless the lease states to the contrary, there is usually no time limit for a rent review notice to be served, meaning that even if a rent review date was 4 years previous to the date notice was served, the rent review is still valid and capable of being negotiated. In these instances it is particularly important to seek advice from a Chartered Surveyor.
