Does being a small landlord exempt me from RPZ rentincrease rules?

A RentWise Team Answered by

No. Being a small landlord does not, by itself, exempt a tenancy from Rent Pressure Zone rent-increase limits. Exemptions generally depend on the property or tenancy circumstances, such as a dwelling newly entering the rental market after not being let for a specified period, or substantial changes to the accommodation. Separate rules may give small landlords different grounds for ending a tenancy, but that is not the same as a rent-cap exemption. Check the RTB’s current guidance, as the applicable rules and dates may change.
