A quick question for those of you who know your stuff re a rental agreement.

An Eastern European colleague has just asked if his landlord can increase their rent after all the paperwork his been agreed and signed?

Yes, they can increase it for Eastern Europeans. If they were Western European they wouldn't be allowed to.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can’t just kick them out. However, there are some companies who specialise in removing sitting tenants using alternative methods:

Be careful. If the landlord grasses him up to the current Home Office he/she will get sent back home to Jamaica.
