How do I get cheaper rent if the rental market has fallen?

Question

Accepted Answer

If your rent is a lot higher than the rents of similar properties in similar areas, you can go to the Tenancy Tribunal and ask it to reduce your rent to a ‘market rent’.
If you’re in a *fixed* tenancy agreement *and* your rental is lots higher than the rents of similar properties in similar areas you can only apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for a market rent review within 3 months of the beginning of the tenancy, or 3 months of the date of the last rent review.
