🚨 Increasing Rents Using a Section 13 Notice 🚨
The Renters’ Rights Collection – Part 5
Our latest infosheet looks at an important upcoming change in the private rented sector: Section 13 will become the only legal way to increase rents.
With Section 13 already available as a route for rent increases, letting agents and landlords can get ahead by putting the right processes in place now. This includes knowing when to serve a Section 13 notice, tracking whether a tenant has taken a case to the First-tier Tribunal, and recording the date the new rent takes effect. The process is slower for landlords, with the outcomes already looking more in the tenants’ favour, but we are here to help!
In the infosheet, we cover:
✅ What the new Section 13 process means in practice
✅ How rent increases and Tribunal challenges will change
✅ Practical steps agents can take to stay compliant
✅ Why accurate market data will be key to defending rent reviews
With the right preparation and insights, agents can stay confident and ahead of the curve.
