Questions
Can my landlord raise my rent whenever they want?+
No. For assured shorthold tenancies, rent can only be raised: (a) if the tenancy agreement has a rent review clause, (b) when signing a new fixed-term agreement, or (c) via a formal Section 13 notice (only on periodic tenancies, no more than once per 12 months, with at least 1 month notice for monthly tenancies).
How much is too much?+
There is no legal percentage cap, but the increase must reflect market rent. If the proposed rent is above local comparable properties, you can refer the matter to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), which will set the rent at market level. Our audit compares your postcode.
What if I refuse to pay the increase?+
If the increase was not validly served, the old rent still applies — do not just pay the higher amount, because doing so may be treated as acceptance. If validly served, you can either accept, negotiate, or refer to Tribunal within the time window. Our audit tells you which path applies.
Will the tribunal actually help?+
Yes — the Tribunal sets rent at market level. In around 40% of referrals, the rent is set lower than the landlord proposed. There is no fee (free to apply). Decisions are usually within 2–3 months.
