If a new tenancy in a Rent Pressure Zone commences after 16 July 2021 (“New Tenancy”), the rent must be set using the new RPZ calculator based on the harmonised index of the consumer price (HICP).
If prior to the New Tenancy commencing, a rent review was carried out but the rent of the rent review notice did not take effect (for example because the tenancy terminated prior to the 90 day notice period expiring) the landlord cannot use that figure in calculating the rent for the New Tenancy.
