Rental of Commercial Premises
Can the landlord increase the rent for improvements made on leased property?
Unless otherwise agreed in the contract, if the landlord makes improvements on the premises at any time during the term of the lease, you can raise rent in an amount equivalent to that resulting from applying to the amount invested the legal interest added three points, without the increase does not exceed 20% of the then current income.
The increased income will be effective from next month in which the landlord gives written notice to the tenant the increase, stating the means of calculation used to determine the increase and accompanying documents proving the amount that was invested in improvements.
If the leased property is carried on a business or professional, the lessee may assign the lease to another party or sublet the property without consent of lessor.
In the case of partial subletting, the landlord is entitled to raise the rent by ten percent (10%) over that which was applicable at the time of the sublease. If it is total sublease or assignment of lease, the landlord can raise rent by twenty percent (20%).
