Over a third of residential landlords are planning to increase rents in 2012 with 24% intending to raise them by more than 3% according to a recent survey.

The survey also revealed that the average UK rent for a double room in shared accommodation, with bills included, rose by 6% in Q4 2012 up to £112 per week, an increase from the average of £106 the previous year.

Despite these proposed increases the survey shows that 64% of landlords have no intention of increasing rents in 2013 as they conceded that that keeping good, reliable tenants in their properties is more important than making a few hundred pounds extra profit a year.
