In their place is a simpler, fairer, but more regulated system: one increase every 12 months, with two months&#8217; notice, rental price backed by market evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Aston Knowles, we&#8217;ve been preparing our landlords for this shift for months. Here&#8217;s what the new rent increase rules mean for you \u2013 and how we help you stay compliant with minimum stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#73082b;color:#73082b\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-37d237d113710c3e43ed5df2880a4289 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#73082b\"><strong>The new rent increase rules at a glance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frequency Maximum once every 12 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notice period Minimum 2 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Method Section 13 process only (no rent-review clauses)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amount Must reflect true market rent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tenant challenge First-tier Tribunal can set market rate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#73082b;color:#73082b\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-71168b96f04798a230ff261b6cb564f3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#73082b\"><strong>Why this matters for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For landlords who already take a professional, evidence-based approach, this change is less of a shock and more of a standardisation. But if your proposed increase isn&#8217;t backed by robust local market data, tenants can \u2013 and will \u2013 challenge it. And during a tribunal, they pay the old rent until a decision is made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore preparation is everything and that\u2019s where we can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#73082b;color:#73082b\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-c90532f49ba06ea1f7729fff4cda1337 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#73082b\"><strong>How Aston Knowles makes this work for you<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our team handles the entire rent review process so you stay compliant, keep income flowing, and avoid disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll help you with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Market analysis \u2013 We benchmark your rent against real-time local data, not guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Section 13 notices \u2013 Served correctly, on time, every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Tenant communication \u2013 Professional, clear, and proactive to reduce friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00b7 Record keeping \u2013 Full audit trails in case of a tribunal challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already thinking about your next rent review?

Should I increase the rent immediately to the maximum market rate, now the Act is in force?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. We don&#8217;t recommend aggressive above-market increases. The tribunal will judge against true market rent, so an unreasonable rise could backfire. Focus on fair, evidence-based adjustments \u2013 that&#8217;s what holds up under scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. If my tenant disputes the increase, what happens to my income during the tribunal process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. The tenant continues paying the existing rent while the tribunal reviews the case. If the tribunal approves a higher figure, the new rent applies from the date they decide \u2013 not retrospectively from your notice date. That&#8217;s why getting it right first time matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. What if market rents fall? Do I have to lower my rent?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. No. You&#8217;re never forced to reduce rent. However, any increase you propose must be justified against current market conditions at that moment. If the market has dropped, you may want to pause your increase plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. Can I increase the rent for a new tenant within 12 months of the previous tenant&#8217;s increase?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. Yes. The &#8220;once every 12 months&#8221; rule applies during a single tenancy. If a tenant leaves and you re-let the property, you can set a new, higher market rent for the incoming tenant immediately \u2013 as long as it reflects true market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q. What about my old tenancy agreements with rent-review clauses \u2013 are they useless now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A. Correct. Any existing rent-review clause is now invalid. You must use the Section 13 process for all rent increases going forward, regardless of what your old contract says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#73082b;color:#73082b\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-e105ecf5b4e35ae45be5f4b71bdda158 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#73082b\"><strong>Need a second pair of eyes on your rent strategy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Every property is different.
