When I got married and moved out of my home, I rented 3 out of 4 rooms in it and registered the tenants with RTB - I kept one room for myself to store my belongings temporarily. I want to rent the 4th room out, but am being told that I can't increase the rent (if I want to rent the 4th room out, I'd need to reduce rent for other rooms). The house is already rented out well below market rate and since all of the mortgage increases, I'm having to make a significant payment myself in order to meet the mortgage. Renting out the 4th room was always my plan. If I can't do this, I'm afraid I'll have to sell the house.
Does this sound right? Surely the fact that the house was only partially rented should be taken into account?
Any advice welcome, thank you
