📈 Real rent increases we've just pushed through

Here are five examples from the seven rent reviews we've completed for Stockton-on-Tees landlords since August, averaging a 5.8% increase overall - real increases, already agreed:

Average across 7 completed reviews since August: +5.8%, ranging 0.8% to 10.1%.

Worth noting: all of these went through under the Renters' Rights Act, which came into force on 1st May. Rent review clauses no longer work, and Section 13 - a formal notice, Form 4A, with two months' notice - is now the only legal route to a rent increase. The process has changed, but as these reviews show, it hasn't stopped landlords from getting a fair increase when the numbers justify it.
