How to Legally Increase Rent Without Losing Tenants

Introduction

Raising rent is a balancing act. Do it wrong and you risk losing a good tenant or facing legal trouble.

1. Check the Market First

Compare similar properties in the area, so if your property is in Ashton-under-Lyne you would be benchmarking against similar postcode and same example would apply to Rochdale before deciding.

2. Know the Law

Use the correct notice (usually Section 13 for periodic tenancies).

3. Communicate Early

Give tenants time to budget.

4. Offer Justification

If you’ve upgraded the property, explain why a rent increase is fair.

5. Consider Timing

Avoid increases during winter or just before lease renewal unless essential.
