N10 — Agreement to a Rent Increase Above the Guideline
You agree to up to 3% above the guideline in exchange for the landlord adding or improving something (parking, appliances, capital work). Unlike an N1, this needs YOUR signature.
⏰ The deadlines
| Cooling-off | You can cancel in writing within 5 days of signing |
🛡️ Defenses & defects to check
- You cannot be forced or pressured to sign — a "sign this or leave" ultimatum is not lawful.
- The increase is only valid if the landlord actually provides the promised improvement.
💡 What the pros know
- Do the math over years, not months: 3% extra compounds into your base rent forever.
