Will rent reviews take into account any improvements made to the premises?

The rent review will normally be based on the condition of the premises when the lease was originally signed. Improvements you have made to the premises will not usually be taken into account in calculating the new rent. It is essential to keep a record of any improvements you make, to ensure that you are not charged extra rent for them.

However, if you negotiate for the landlord to make improvements to the property during the term of the lease, these improvements may well be taken into account in the new level of rent.
