Can anyone help with how I increase the rent please? It is a Assured Shorthold Tenancy which was for 6mths from Feb 2014. I’m thinking it has automatically switched to a statutory periodic tenancy now? Do I need to provide the tenant with a section 13 or a 4D form? Or can I just type a letter with my intent to increase the rent in 1 or 2 months time? The property is in Wales. Thank you in advance

Thank you. I have read this article already. I take from this that a general chat with the tenant then a letter will be legally sufficient?
A letter of confirmation is only suitable if they agree the rent increase during your discussions.
If they don’t agree, use the section 13 notice.
great. Thank you. Are there any legal statements I need to include or just clear?
No, just confirming any agreement made.
