TAL rent-fixing evidence and 2026–27 RN forms
The TAL has different 2026–27 forms for notices given before versus on or after January 1, 2026, reflecting regulatory changes.
Which year controls?
For the 2026–27 Necessary Information (RN) forms, TAL distinguishes notices given before January 1, 2026 from notices given on or after that date. Both versions cover rents whose new amount starts between April 2, 2026 and April 1, 2027. Select the official form by notice date AND rent period, not rent period alone.
Serve and file evidence
For a rent-fixing application, notify each tenant named on the lease of the appropriate Necessary Information (RN) form. TAL says the original completed form and proof of notification to each tenant must be filed within 90 days after the form is sent. This is distinct from the general 45-day application-notification proof requirement; use the notice-date-specific 2026–27 RN version, not a historic form.
Avoid generic spreadsheets
Building taxes, insurance, work and services may differ. TAL's prescribed form and official calculator are the authoritative preparation tools, not our illustrative 3.1% example.
