Raising the rent, or setting it for a new let
To raise the rent on an existing tenancy in England, a private landlord serves a Section 13 notice on Form 4A, with at least two months’ notice. A council average is a sense check, not the market rent of a particular home: if the tenant challenges the rise, the tribunal looks at the open-market rent for that home. In the rent challenges decided since 1 May 2026, it set a lower rent than the landlord proposed in about seven of ten.
An existing tenancy: Section 13
- Form 4A, with at least two months’ notice, and the new rent starting at the beginning of a rent period.
- No sooner than 52 weeks after the tenancy began or the last increase took effect (53 weeks in some cases).
- If the tenant refers it to the First-tier Tribunal before the new rent starts, the tribunal decides the open-market rent, and the tenant pays the lower of that and your figure.
A new let: state the rent
- The advert, and any offer of the tenancy, must state the rent.
- You must not invite or encourage offers above it, or accept one. This is the rental bidding ban, in force since 1 May 2026 (Renters’ Rights Act 2025, section 56).
- The rent you advertise is the most you can accept, so check it against the local figures below.
When the rise is due, the notice is drafted for you. LetCompliance fills the Form 4A from the tenancy record, dates it with the two-month and 52 or 53-week rules checked, emails it to the tenant and keeps a dated record, on paid plans from £7.99 a month. For a new let, the advert, applications and viewings run from the same account.

About these figures. The ONS index measures rents on new and existing tenancies, so it moves more slowly than the asking rents on property portals. ONS advises reading council figures as longer-term trends, because they can be volatile from month to month. Figures are not seasonally adjusted, and ONS does not publish the City of London or the Isles of Scilly. In the year to August 2026, rents fell in 11 of the 294 councils.
