Rent Increase Guidelines For Tenants Landlords

(My Original Blog Post: http://ping.fm/gEjdy)
There's a lot of information for landlords on how to deal with problematic tenants in case of late payments or bad maintenance, but tenants are often unaware of their rights. As a result, they never seek help from the regulatory bodies in case they have been harassed by the landlord, or if the property owner has come up with a sudden, unfair increase in rent. Many tenants believe, just because the landlord is the owner of the property, it is his/her right to raise the rent at any given time.
