Rent Increase

[less2303]

As you are probably aware, I am in the process of taking my previous landlord to the small claims court for non return of my deposit.

I have just read the post on rent increases, and also gone back through my tenancy agreement which in relation to rent increases states the following:

THE SCHEDULE

1. The Landlord may at any time after the expiration of 6 months of the term review in an upwards direction the Rent payable under this agreement by giving not less than 21 days written notice to the Tenant ("The revised rent") stating that the revised Rent and the date upon which the first revised Rent payment is due ("the due date")

2. From the due date the Rent will be the revised Rent.
-------------------------------------------------

The tenancy was a Assured Shorthold Tenancy, which commenced on 1st June 2003. The rent was increased after giving 21 days notice in Feb/March last year. This co incidently was shortly after a long term problem with the boiler, which eventually had to be replaced, at a cost of approx £2k to them.

In the `Sticky` on Rent Increases it staes that it must make reference in the Tenancy agreement to how much the rent can be increased by. Has this increase been carried out properly, as there is no reference to this in my agreement?

Any help is much appreciated.
