Is your landlord allowed to raise your rent by that much?
Before you accept — or panic — get a professional check on whether the notice is legally valid, whether the amount is fair, and exactly how to challenge it.
In ~40% of tribunal challenges, the rent is set lower than the landlord asked.
In England, a private landlord can usually only raise the rent on a periodic assured shorthold tenancy by serving a valid Section 13 notice — no more than once every 12 months, with at least one month notice — or via a rent-review clause. If the increase is above local market rent, you can refer it to the First-tier Tribunal, which sets the rent at market level. This audit checks whether your notice is valid and what your options are.

A housing solicitor is £200+ an hour. This audit is £9.99 — and if it shows the notice is invalid, the old rent still legally applies until a valid one is served.
The £9.99 Clear-Answer Promise: if the audit doesn't give you a clear verdict on whether your rent increase is valid and what to do, reply for a full refund.
Worried it might find nothing? That is exactly what the guarantee covers — you only pay if the audit is worth it. And every finding is computed from the actual UK rules and legislation, not AI guesswork.
