Rent increase and notice to vacateAn increase should only come into effect upon a notice served to the rent restriction tribunal. A landlord cannot auction off a tenant's property without legal approval to recover unpaid rent. These are the Business Premises Rent Tribunal (BPRT) which handles commercial rent and the Rent Restriction Tribunal (RRT) which handles residential or living rent. The Rent Restriction Tribunal has offices in major towns. There is also the Landlord and Tenant Act which mainly caters to business rent such as shops, catering establishments, and hotels.
