There are likely nuances and contracts that will allow what you describe (I had something similar about rent rises each year), but given what the government here are doing, they’re not good on details or any awareness of unintended consequences, so they’ve probably put something in place to prevent putting logical and reasonable contacts in place…….. they simply hate individuals with assets or anyone earning wages, crazy times.

Yeah that is what it certainly feels like. Good to get a grasp of what this is like across the pond.
It definitely sounds familiar to some States adopting Squatters rights:
I enjoy watching some YouTube channels of people in California annoying/torturing squatters out of the residence(or at least trying to).
As well as I came across a desperate elderly man from NewYorkState who was trying to evict squatters. Iirc, he was being threatened to be arrested by the state for not complying with the health and safety statutes for his non-paying “tenants”.
So instead of wasting more money paying fines, he went to the property, called the police, and set himself on fire in protest. They saved his wife, but he and the property were burnt to the ground.
It was a painful video to witness, but that was all the evidence I needed to grasp just how unjust this type of State involvement in rental properties really is, and the type of desperation it produces.
Recently I helped a friend with a rental property. Had some bad renters, drug users who didn't care for the property and weren't paying the rent. We fixed the problem with a bit of the old ultra-violence one night. They weren't ready for a dozen guys showing up to evict them and no chance of "we'll be out at the end of the month" being an acceptable answer.
