Document background
The 90 Day Rent Increase Notice is a crucial document in Austrian property management, required whenever a landlord intends to increase the rent for a property. Under Austrian tenancy law (Mietrechtsgesetz), landlords must provide tenants with at least 90 days advance notice before implementing any rent increase. The notice must be properly formatted and include specific information such as the current rent, new rent amount, effective date, and legal basis for the increase. Common justifications include Consumer Price Index adjustments, increased operating costs, or significant maintenance works. This document is particularly important as failure to provide proper notice or include required information can invalidate the proposed increase. The notice must comply with both the Austrian Tenancy Act and Consumer Protection Act requirements, particularly regarding timing, format, and content.
