Hi Romily,
Thank you for your email.
Apologies you had not received a response to your original email below. Can you please advise who this was sent to and I will double check why thin shas not been picked up?
In regards to your query, the rents have been increasing year on year in Glasgow, and we had proposed a modest increase despite the market moving so quickly. However, we do understand your concerns and will check with the owner what they would like to do in this instance.
As soon as we have a response from the owner, we will be in touch.
Kind regards
From: Romilly Clowes <[edited email]

Good Afternoon,
I hope you're having a good day. Please can you give me an update to the questions detailed below?
I noticed another flat for rent on hill street which is in a similar location to my current flat, it is a more modern and newly renovated flat and it was reduced yesterday for £1,200, my flat under the proposed rent increase would be more than this flat.
Please can I get a response to this email ASAP, as I am considering going to the rent control board if there is no willingness to negotiate as I have been monitoring the rental properties in my area and they have mostly been reduced and some are of a higher quality and cheaper than what you are proposing.
Thanks,
Romilly Clowes

Good morning,
Is it possible to ask why the rent is increasing? I have looked at other rentals in the surrounding area and they are either a lower market value or a higher price and quality. The only upgrades the flat has had over the past two years is that the wall has been painted as it was about to fall down, we have a new fridge because our fridge when we moved in didn't work and a new washing machine as the other one broke.
The rent was also increased last year by 3%, inflation is currently sitting at 2.8% and the rent increase now is more than inflation.
Is the landlord open to negotiating the rent increase?
Thanks,
Romilly Clowes

of: (address of landlords(s)) c/o DJ Alexander, The John Cotton Centre, 10 Sunnyside, Edinburgh, EH7 5RA
proposes to increase your rent from £1184.5 per* week/fortnight/4 weeks/month/quarter/year

Part 2b – IF THE LET PROPERTY IS IN AN RPZ
Only complete this section if the Let Property is in an area which has been designated by the Scottish Ministers as a Rent Pressure Zone.
The Let Property in Part 1 of this form is in a Rent Pressure Zone. This means that the Scottish Ministers have set a cap on the maximum amount by which your rent can be increased. This is because rents in your area are rising too much, causing difficulties for existing tenants and having a negative effect on the local authority's housing system.
The new proposed rent amount outlined in Part 2 must not be more than the rent cap set by the Scottish Ministers.
The following equation has been used by the Scottish Ministers to set the cap for the area that you live in:
In the above equation:
R is the amount of rent payable before the rent increase.
CPI is the percentage change (if any) in the consumer prices index over the period from the day of your last rent increase or, if your rent has not been increased before, from the day your tenancy began.
X is the number of percentage points decided by the Scottish Ministers and set out in regulations.
Y is the amount (if any) that your Landlord can charge you as a result of improvements made to the Let Property. Only a Rent Officer can decide how much can be inserted above for 'Y'. If a figure greater than zero has been added below for 'Y', a copy of the Rent Officer's decision must accompany this notice which confirms that amount.
When you add in the actual amounts for each of the letters above, the equation used to calculate your rent increase looks like this:
(insert the appropriate figures into this equation to calculate the cap that will apply for the area you live in)
The above cap is in force from *error* to *error*
(insert dates cap is in place)
Part 3 – TENANT'S RESPONSE TO THE PROPOSED RENT INCREASE
