Tenants are increasingly challenging rent increases since the Renters Rights Act.

We can help with drafting your rent increase notice to ensure its valid. Navigating the Tribunal appeal process if the increase is challenged.

Ensuring landlords collate and present their evidence of market rent ‘achieved’ ( not advertised ) to stand scrutiny before a tribunal is crucial and responding to challenges, appeals and paperwork that is involved in the process.

In addition, we represent landlords at a tribunal hearing.

There are numerous provisions for tenants to seek without cost assistance with rent increase challenges.
