Section 5 - Starting Date for Rent Increase

The law lays down a minimum period of notice, which must be complied with. This will usually be one month. Legalhelpers Limited has summarized the rules below. Although at first sight these appear a little complex, if you read through them slowly and carefully, they should become clear. As a back up we have asked for some further information in Section 6 of this form and will check that your date is suitable.

When the proposed new rent can start

The date for the start of the new rent must comply with the following rules, which state a minimum period of notice which must be given:

one month for a tenancy which is monthly or for a lesser period, for instance weekly or fortnightly;
six months for a yearly tenancy;
in all other cases, a period equal to the length of the period of the tenancy, for example, three months in the case of a quarterly tenancy.
the starting date for the proposed new rent must not be earlier than the first anniversary of the date on which the rent was last increased using this statutory notice procedure or, if the tenancy is new, the date on which it started.
This rule does not apply in two cases where a statutory tenancy has followed on from an earlier tenancy. In these cases the landlord can propose a new rent at once, but the first and third rules must still be followed. These cases are:
(a)where the tenancy was originally for a fixed term (for instance, 6 months), but continues on a periodic (for instance a monthly) basis after the term ends; and
(b)where the tenancy came into existence on the death of the previous tenant who had a regulated tenancy under the Rent Act 1977.

The proposed new rent must start at the beginning of a period of the tenancy. For instance, if the tenancy is monthly, and started on the 20th of the month, rent will be payable on that day of the month, and a new rent must begin then, not on any other day of the month. If the tenancy is weekly, and started, for instance, on a Monday, the new rent must begin on a Monday.

The starting date for the new rent will be
