Backdating Lease Agreement Legality
Summary
Backdating a lease in Northern Ireland without mutual agreement is legally questionable. Rent increases should be agreed upon and not retroactively applied. For improvements, check lease terms and seek landlord approval. Landlords are responsible for maintaining safe premises. The Health and Safety at Work Order 1978 and Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 can be referenced for tenant protection. The Private Tenancies Order 2006 does not apply to commercial properties. Discuss issues with your landlord to reach a mutual agreement.Full Conversation
If I only agreed to the rent increase today ,can they then backdate
In Northern Ireland, if you only agreed to the rent increase today, backdating the increase to a period when there was no formal lease agreement in place could be contested. It's generally not considered fair or legal to impose such terms retroactively without mutual agreement.
