Understand whether a rent increase looks fair before you decide what to do

A rent increase can be hard to judge without evidence. The percentage increase alone does not tell the full story. A 10%, 20% or 30% increase may feel high, but the key question is whether the proposed rent is close to what similar homes rent for locally.

UpRently helps private renters and landlords in England check a proposed rent increase against comparable market evidence.

You get a clear result showing whether the proposed rent looks:

Likely fair
Possibly above market
Likely above market
Not enough local data

The checker is free. If you need a clearer record of the evidence, you can buy an Evidence Pack.

The free checker gives you a quick result. The UpRently Evidence Pack gives you a fuller record of the local rent evidence behind that result.

It includes:

  • Your current rent and proposed rent
  • Local median rent
  • The checker result and data confidence rating
  • Comparable rental evidence
  • A clear methodology
  • A summary of what the evidence suggests
  • A PDF you can keep, share or use when preparing your own evidence

The Evidence Pack can help if you want to:

  • Talk to your landlord or tenant with evidence
  • Understand whether the proposed rent is supported by local comparables
  • Prepare evidence for the official market rent process
  • Keep a clear record before deciding what to do next

The Evidence Pack is not a legal document and does not guarantee any outcome.

A simple price for useful evidence

Finding comparable rents yourself can take time. You need to find similar homes, check whether they are genuinely comparable and keep a record of what you found. You also need to think about property type, bedrooms, location, condition, outdoor space, parking and what is included in the rent.

The Evidence Pack brings that information together in one clear PDF. For £19.99, you get a structured record of the evidence and the method used. It is not legal advice, but it can help you make a more informed decision and avoid relying on guesswork.

Built for rent evidence, not legal advice

UpRently focuses on one job: helping people understand rent increase evidence.

We do not:

  • Tell you what decision to make
  • Check whether a notice is legally valid
  • Complete tribunal forms
  • Submit anything for you
  • Guarantee what a landlord, tenant or tribunal will decide

We help you understand whether the proposed rent looks supported by comparable local evidence.

How UpRently uses AI

The checker result is calculated using fixed rules. AI does not decide whether a rent increase looks fair.

AI may help explain the result and summarise the evidence in the Evidence Pack. Any AI-written content should be reviewed before use.

UpRently provides general information and rent comparison evidence for private renters and landlords in England. It does not provide legal advice, check whether a notice is valid, complete tribunal applications or guarantee any outcome. Check the latest official guidance before acting and get advice from Shelter, Citizens Advice or a qualified adviser if you are unsure.
