A rent increase can be invalid before it even reaches the tenant.

Miss one step in the notice process and the clock resets.

The increase does not apply until a compliant notice is issued and the full 60 days runs again.

Many landlords assume the amount is the only thing that matters. The notice period, the wording and the timing matter just as much.

Swipe through for a plain-English breakdown of what NSW law actually requires before a rent increase takes effect.

If your investment property already needs renovating, the timing might matter more than you think.

With CGT changes starting 1 July 2027, bringing planned works forward could be worth discussing now.

Higher rent, better tenants, less maintenance, potentially more equity… and possibly a smarter CGT position.

If a renovation is already on your radar, talk to your property manager and accountant before 30 June 2027.

Chasing the highest possible rent is one of the more reliable ways to end up with less income, not more.

Two weeks vacant, a reletting fee, advertising, cleaning and the time involved in re-tenanting adds up fast.

In most cases, it exceeds what pushing rent to the top of the market would have returned over the year.

This is where owners get caught. The focus goes to the new rent figure. The real question is what it costs to get there if the tenant leaves.

A tenant who pays on time and looks after the property has real value. That value belongs in the calculation.
