...ok, so what is the exact situation if your rent was put up by the full amount (ie 15%) last year?? my understanding from the law was that they could not put it up at all this year, but our landlord is making increase noises at the moment...

i'm presuming if i'm right that we just take him to rent committee???

Landlord making increase noises???
He's outside banging the tabla???

Madam Medusa

Confucius

Unless he's outside under your balcony srenading you with a guitar like Julio Iglesias...

Madam Medusa

but he is...is that a bad sign??

MM, xx

Confucius

No that's a great sign...Now start on phase II: show him your shadow behind the curtains, and as if you're undressing...You'll get -15% on your rent...

Madam Medusa

so if i keep my clothes on, i will get a reduction then...??

Confucius
