What is the current market rate for Repair and Maintenance per items?

May I please ask for your advise if it’s fair from my landlord that he increased $200 per items (not even “up to”) to $250 per items without highlighting it to me when we do the renewal contract after 2 years lease.

Also the landlord reason for increasing the rate is because of manpower shortage and there is FOC checking services. Though I had done my primary check in the market that the FOC will waive if we use their services or they can do the checking via photo.

Please can I have your advise and how should I talk to my landlord and the agent?

Thanks so much

If you have already signed on the agreement, then it will be difficult to manage the situation unless you can prove that they have deliberately hidden this change from the original agreement, then you may have a case.

$250 is actually quite common in the market now and I have also dealt with rental where the minor repair clause is up to $500.

Hope the above helps.
