Donna has leased a home unit to live in for the past two years. The lease expired two weeks ago and the real estate agent has just advised her that the rent will go up by 5% at the end of this month.

Explain the rights of the tenant under the residential tenancy agreement and when it is appropriate for a landlord to increase the rent.

In your answer, you should reference applicable sections/points of the Residential Tenancy Agreement and Residential Tenancy Act 2010 (NSW).
