Section 13 of the Housing Act 1988 -

• Notice Warning Tenants of Rent Increase
• See Rent Increase
• See Renters Rights Bill - expected during 2025 to 2026
  • Rent increases will only be permissable following issue of a s.13 Notice.
  • Rents must be reasonable
  • Rents can be challenged and appealed
  • Any final appeal decision will take effect from the (later) date of the appeal decision (not from the (earlier)date stated on the section 13 Notice).
  • Therefore theere will likely be an increase in the number of apeals if only to postpone any rent increase.
  • This will add a legal administative cost to landlords - coupled with a delay in any permissable rent increases.
