Take control of your rent increase by starting a challenge - for free.

Check the form type, the proposed rent and the effective date first. If the notice is defective, your landlord may need to serve a fresh notice and the increase may not take effect. The tribunal is interested in open-market rent, not whether the increase feels fair. Start with comparable local rents, then add any property details that make your home worth less or more than those examples. Getting the application in on time matters more than making it perfect on day one.
