See what is in your Evidence Pack

Find out how a proposed rent compares with similar homes advertised nearby. Your Evidence Pack brings together the local rental evidence, explains what the figures mean and gives you a dated report you can save or share.

What you get for £9.99

  • See how your rent compares

    Where the proposed rent sits against the typical rent for similar homes nearby, and the range they are advertised at.

  • See the homes behind the comparison

    Up to 20 similar homes advertised near you, where enough are available, with each address, distance and rent.

  • See how strong the evidence is

    Evidence strength shows how many similar homes were found and how close they are. If there are only a few, the pack says so.

  • Keep a dated record

    One dated PDF to save, print or share when you discuss the increase or think about your options.

How it helps tenants and landlords

If you rent your home

Understand how your proposed rent compares with similar homes nearby. Use the evidence to discuss the increase with your landlord or as supporting information if you apply to the tribunal.

Your version also covers:

  • How much notice you were given
  • Your deadline to apply to the tribunal
  • The £47 fee and Help with Fees
  • What to send with an application

If you are a landlord

Compare your proposed increase with local advertised rents. Keep a dated report showing the evidence behind your proposed rent.

Your version also covers:

  • When another rent increase can take effect
  • The first 52 weeks of a tenancy
  • When the notice needs to be served
  • What to keep in case your tenant applies

What it can and cannot tell you

  • The rents are advertised asking rents. Rents actually agreed can differ, and are usually stronger evidence.
  • Homes differ in size, condition and what the rent includes.
  • The separate estimate for your home is made from your details, without a visit. It is not a professional valuation.
  • The date checks are general information. They do not decide whether a notice is valid.
  • The pack is evidence, not legal advice, and it cannot guarantee any outcome.
  • The samples use an invented town and homes. Your own pack uses real advertised rents near you.
