I've got two new builds I developed, I rent and manage them myself. I can tell you the two things that are setting the rent I'm asking is interest rate and shortly behind is insurance and rates increases. I'm about to refix and I'll be topping them up more per week than the rent one of them brings in per week.

If landlords have less pressure on cashflow they have less pressure to raise or have "high" rents, most of us want to retain good tenants well ahead of squeezing every last dollar out of them.
