This notice proposes a new rent under Section 13(2) of the Housing Act 1988 (as amended by the Renters' Rights Act 2025) in respect of your assured periodic tenancy of the property above.

Current rent: £1,750 per calendar month
Proposed new rent: £1,820 per calendar month
Starting date for the new rent: 13 Sept 2026

The starting date is not earlier than 12 months after the rent was last set and gives at least two months' notice, as required by law. If you consider the proposed rent to be above open-market rent, you have the right to refer this notice to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) before the starting date. The tribunal cannot set a rent higher than the rent proposed in this notice.
