Review the evidence before proposing a new rent

For most assured periodic tenancies in England, rent cannot be increased in the first twelve months, can normally be increased only once a year and must be proposed using Form 4A with at least two months' notice. A tenant can challenge a proposal above the open-market rent. Tell us about the property and we will assess whether there is enough relevant evidence for a review.

Different rules can apply to excluded, regulated, social, holiday, licence or other arrangements. This page is general information, not legal advice. Check current government guidance.
