As I said all rents were signed by the tenants/ lessees, there was of course arbitration. I presume your rent increase went from tenancy to lease? if not why sign for such an increase? Unless you were under rented on £13,600.
Unfortunately most didnt have a choice in the late 80s it started with INntrepeneur who said your new rent will be
X amount sign the agreement or leave within 6 months. I was heavily involved with NAIL ( National Association of INtrepeneur Lesees) which was formed try to protect lessees. We had many examples of bNkruptcy and even suicide through these university trained whizz kids. Typically my rent with Watneys increased from £13600 pa to £36400 when it came under the rule of Inntrepeneur and this was typical of many publicans businesses.
