Section 13 Rent Increase Pack for England landlords

If you want to raise the rent properly, this pack helps you check the timing first, set out the figure clearly, and serve a more coherent Form 4A file.

You want to raise the rent properly. We help you check the timing, explain the figure, and keep the file ready if the tenant challenges it.

  • Check the Section 13 timing before you serve anything, so you do not trip over avoidable date mistakes.
  • Build Form 4A, the support report, and proof of service as one coherent landlord file.
  • Use market comparables to explain the figure in plain English instead of relying on guesswork.
  • Built around the current England position from 1 May 2026, including the Renters' Rights changes that affect possession, tenancy setup, and Section 13 rent increases.
  • Use the Standard Section 13 pack when you want to propose a new rent properly, check the timing first, and serve a clearer Form 4A backed by market evidence.
  • Guided document preparation and practical process support for landlords. Not a solicitor service or legal representation.

Who this pack is for

  • You want to propose a new rent and need the formal England Section 13 route.
  • You want to check dates, comparables, and the proposed figure before serving the notice.
  • You want a cleaner landlord file with the notice, report, and service record tied together.

What you get

This pack is built to help you read the whole rent increase file naturally from start to finish. You are not just getting a form. You are getting the notice, the supporting explanation, and the record of service in one guided workflow.

  • Form 4A rent increase notice
  • Rent increase justification report
  • Proof of service record
  • Landlord guidance on what to check before you serve

What this pack helps you do

This pack is for landlords who want to increase the rent properly, not just fill in a form and hope the rest works itself out. It walks you through the timing, the comparable-rent evidence, and the explanation behind the figure before you generate Form 4A.

That matters because a Section 13 notice reads more naturally and feels more credible when the date, the figure, and the reasoning all line up. If the tenant asks why the increase is being proposed, you already have a clearer answer ready.

How the Standard pack reads in practice

The aim is to help you produce a landlord file that looks like it was built on purpose. The Form 4A notice, the supporting report, and the proof of service record should all say the same thing in the same voice.

That makes the pack easier to read for you, easier to explain to the tenant, and easier to rely on later if the increase is questioned.

When to move beyond the Standard pack

If you expect the tenant to challenge the increase, or the proposed figure sits towards the top of your local range, the Standard pack may not be enough on its own. That is the point where the Defence Pack becomes the better fit.

The Defence Pack is built for the landlord who needs to think beyond service and into challenge response, tribunal readiness, and a fuller evidence presentation.

Next step if the tenant pushes back

If you think the tenant is likely to challenge the increase, move into the Defence Pack before the file starts to drift. That route is built for landlords who need a stronger explanation, a fuller evidence bundle, and better preparation for what comes after service.
