A Rent Increase Letter is a essential legal document used in England and Wales when landlords wish to modify the rental amount for their property. This document must be issued in compliance with relevant housing legislation, particularly the Housing Act 1988 and Landlord and Tenant Act 1985. The letter should specify the current rent, proposed new amount, effective date, and must provide adequate notice as prescribed by law. It serves as both a formal notification and legal record of the proposed changes to the existing tenancy agreement.
