Section 13 Rent Increase

A Section 13 notice is the formal mechanism by which a landlord of a periodic assured shorthold tenancy can propose a rent increase. The landlord must give the tenant at least one month's notice (or a full rental period for periodic tenancies longer than a month), and the increase can only take effect once per year. Tenants who consider the proposed increase above market rate can refer it to a First-tier Tribunal for determination.
