Hi,
1 Does anyone know where I can download a "standard" tenancy agreement?
2 I am thinking if adding a clause to increase rents by 1.5% per year on 1st January. Is this OK?

It seems like an unnecessary complication to build a fixed rate into the contract. I'd just negotiate something on a year by year basis.

It sounds a bit mercenary to be mentioning rent rises before they actually move in.Personally I take a very flexible attitude to rent increases.I currently have a tenant who has rarely had an increase in the 10 plus years since she moved in.Her rent is probably around £50-£75 less than I could get,but she's very reliable and on a tight budget.I plan to increase it next year,but only by around £20. Wait and see how things go.
