Rent increases as a private landlord

There are certain rules you must follow if you want to increase the rent you charge. This includes giving a tenant the right amount of notice and using the correct form. 

The type of tenancy agreement your tenant has will determine:

• the rules you need to follow
• what they can do if they disagree with a rent increase
