Section 13 rent increase date checker

Since 1 May 2026, landlords in England raising the rent on an assured periodic tenancy use the section 13 process and Form 4A. The hard part is the start date, which must meet three rules in Note A of the form: two months' notice, 52 weeks since the last increase (or since the tenancy began), and a start at the beginning of a tenancy period.

Assured agricultural occupancies use a different form.

Filled and checked Form 4A

A paid option, not on sale. You would get a filled Form 4A with the checked dates, ready to sign and serve, plus a reminder before your next allowed increase date.
