agree  Alec Evans: this works, although I prefer "stepped rent"

  -> thank you
neutral  Amanda A: is a 'proper' translation but no one (in Australia at least) would know what it's supposed to mean
10 hrs
  -> well it's a "descriptive" term so I wonder exactly what would Aussies would prefer; maybe you could post a suggestion

stepped rent agreement


Explanation:
"stepped rent" is the first translation we used for "Staffelmiete" in the IZ Real Estate Dictionary. "graduated rent" is the second and (US only) "step-up lease" the third.
In my (mainly European) experience, stepped rent is the most commonly-used term.
