Arijit Mallick, Kolkata
Q: We have a pre-rented apartment building in Bhawanipur, however, all the tenants are aged & tenured since grandparents time. The rents collected are laughably low for that area. Would like to sell the whole building if we can get the building's current market value. Is it possible? If not, any way to boost rents to current rate for the existing tenants?

Good morning Arijit!!!! The amount of rent payable for a property is agreed between the landlord and tenant at the start of a tenancy. Private landlords must follow certain procedures if they want to raise the rent. The rules are set out in Part 3 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and have recently been amended by the Residential Tenancies (Amendment) Act 2015. These rules only apply to private rented housing, not to social housing.
