Section 13 Rent Increases. The Clarifications We Need
| Infosheet
The Renters’ Rights Act will reshape how rent increases work, but key operational questions around Section 13 remain unresolved. Recent written questions from Kevin Hollinrake MP have also highlighted how little information the government currently holds on rent increase appeals and tribunal pressures, an issue that could affect how the system works in practice.
Our latest infosheet covers:
✅ How Section 13 rent increases will operate under the new system
✅ What’s still unclear about ‘market rent’ and tribunal evidence requirements
✅ Tribunal capacity risks and the potential impact on landlords and tenants
✅ Why lack of data and planning could create legal and operational challenges
✅ What agents should be doing now to prepare and stay compliant
As the reforms approach, clarity, evidence and realistic planning will be just as important as the legislation itself. Agents who prepare early will be best placed to manage risk and support both landlords and tenants with confidence.
