Dear [Tenant's Name],

Re: Notice of rent increase — [Property Address]

Thank you for being a valued tenant at [Property Address]. After careful review of [reason — e.g. "rising costs, market rents in the area, and the recent improvements to the property"], I am writing to give formal notice of a rent increase.

Current monthly rent:  [$ Amount]
New monthly rent:      [$ New Amount]
Increase:              [$ Amount] / [%]
Effective from:        [New Rent Start Date]

This notice is given in accordance with [relevant legal basis — e.g. "Section 13 of the Housing Act 1988 / your tenancy agreement / state landlord-tenant law"] and provides at least [required notice period] of notice as required.

What you need to do:
• Update your standing order / direct debit so the new amount of [$ New Amount] is paid from [Effective Date].
• Continue paying [$ Current Amount] for any rent due before that date.

I understand a rent change is never welcome news, and I have tried to keep the increase as fair as possible. If you would like to discuss this, or if you would prefer to end the tenancy rather than accept the new rent, please contact me by [Date] so we can plan accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yours sincerely,

[Landlord Full Name]
