Section 13 rent increase notices

Most residents on the estate received Section 13 rent rise notices, proposing increases of between £200/pcm and £900/pcm. A lot of these were invalid due to mistakes on their forms or clauses in our tenancy agreements. Regardless of whether they’re valid, we can challenge them in a rent tribunal and make arguments about what our rent should be. Shelter has a guide to challenging a rent increase.
