Section 13 notice route
Create the formal Section 13 notice pack once the rent figure, evidence, and service plan make sense together. The checker helps you get to that point before the form is created.
1. The figure
Start with evidence from genuinely similar properties. Location, bedrooms, condition, furnishings and included services can matter more than a broad area average.
2. The evidence
Save the listings, dates and reasons for including or excluding each comparable. A clear evidence trail is more useful than a long list of properties that do not match the let.
3. The route
A supportable proposal can follow the standard notice route. Existing objections, weak comparables or a likely tribunal challenge call for a fuller evidence and response file.
The Supported Rent Increase Pack is for landlords who have a supportable figure and want the notice, market justification, and service record to stay aligned.
Run the checker first, settle the figure, then generate the pack once the evidence and the proposed rent are pointing in the same direction.
If the rent is still moving, the comparables have not been reviewed, or challenge risk is already obvious, serving the notice can put you on the back foot.
The cleaner pattern is simple: run the checker, read the supportable range, decide whether the case is Standard or Defence, and then generate the pack that fits.
Your next decision
Use the free checker to test the proposed rent and the strength of the evidence. If the result supports the increase, continue to the notice route. If the tenant has objected or the evidence is borderline, review the challenge route before serving anything. This keeps the paid step tied to the facts instead of asking you to choose a pack too early.
