Frequently asked questions

Is this legal advice?
No. This tool gives practical guidance based on the information you provide. It does not replace advice from a solicitor, adviser, or the tribunal.
Can the tribunal set my rent higher if I challenge?
No. Under the Renters' Rights Act 2025, the tribunal cannot set rent above the amount proposed in the landlord's notice.
What if my notice is invalid?
Validity comes first. If the notice appears invalid, the practical next step is usually understanding the defect and deadline position before focusing on whether the rent is above market.
