Your Section 13 Guide & Evidence Template
| Infosheet

With the Renters’ Rights Act taking effect on 1st May, rent increases will require a far more structured and evidence-based approach. With uncertainty still surrounding how fair market rent will be assessed in practice, agents and landlords need to be prepared to justify every decision with confidence.
We’ve created a practical guide alongside a ready-to-use Section 13 Evidence Template to help you navigate this change and build a clear, defensible approach to rent increases.
What’s included:
✅ A simple breakdown of what “fair market rent” really means in practice
✅ Guidance on using comparables, market data, and professional judgement effectively
✅ Key risks to avoid when proposing rent increases
✅ A structured template to capture evidence, document reasoning, and create a reliable audit trail
Everything you need to move forward with clarity — and protect your position if challenged.
