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.

Refer to the Standard form Residential tenancy agreement to advise whether the landlord can do this.

(Outline legal aspects of real property law: the Torrens system, native title, leases - commercial and residential, mortgages and securities, easements, restrictive covenants, co-ownership, strata and community title).

 

Please look at sections 5 and 6 of the residential tenancy act and rework your answer incorporating these sections.?
