What are my rights if my landlord increases the rent?

Check your tenancy agreement: Ensure the rent increase aligns with the terms in your agreement.
Ensure proper notice: Landlords must provide at least one month’s notice for periodic tenancies or follow rent review clauses in fixed-term agreements.
Challenge unfair increases: If you believe the increase is excessive, apply to a First-tier Tribunal for assessment.
Contact a solicitor: A solicitor can help negotiate or challenge the increase legally.
