Rental information fee to be revised
The fee payable by landlords and tenants for obtaining information on market rent from the Rating and Valuation Department will be revised on September I.
A government spokesman said the fee would be revised to $875 from $700 to offset higher operating costs.
He said the information would only be available to landlords and tenants, or their authorised professional advisers, who had applied to the Lands Tribunal for tenancy renewal under Part IV of the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance.
Under these provisions, landlords and tenants of domestic premises might, prior to the expiration of a current tenancy, freely agreed on the renewal of the tenancy, he added.
However, if the parties involved cannot agree on the rent, they may apply to the Lands Tribunal for a decision.
"The rental data provided by the department can serve as a reference to the landlords and their tenants so that they can negotiate an amicable settlement or can base the rental figures in presenting their cases before the Lands Tribunal," the spokesman said.
