Rent payments and rent increases

In England, private rent increases now go through the section 13 process. Rent can be increased once a year, with at least 2 months' notice.

• If you think the new rent is above market rate, you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal before the new rent starts.
• Rent review clauses in tenancy agreements can no longer be used to raise rent.
• Landlords and agents cannot ask for more than 1 month's rent in advance.
