Check your rent increase for free
- Free to checkYour verdict, the typical local rent and the two closest homes cost nothing.
- No accountNo sign-up and no password. Your answers stay on this device.
- England onlyWe check your postcode before you start, so you know straight away.
See what similar homes nearby are actually advertised at, with addresses and distances, before you settle on a rent increase or decide what to do about one.
Real homes, not area averages
- The address
- How far it is from you
- What it was asking
- How long it was advertised
Plenty of tools give you the average rent for a postcode district. A tribunal does not compare averages. It compares one home with other homes.
So that is what this does. Every comparable is a property that was genuinely advertised to let near you. You see the two closest for nothing, and the typical figure they add up to.
How the check works
Tell us about the rent and the property
Four short steps, about three minutes. We never ask for card details.
We find homes like yours advertised nearby
Same bedroom count, same property type, as close to the property as the market allows. You get a verdict, the typical local rent, and full detail on the two closest comparables.
We check your dates against the timing rules
Notice periods, the 52 week rules, and the date that matters on your side: a tenant deadline to apply, or a landlord date to serve by. Free, with the arithmetic shown.
Buy the evidence only if you want it
The Evidence Pack for tenants, or the Landlord Evidence Report, is £19.99 once, with no subscription. It holds every comparable home with its address and distance, and Stripe handles the payment.

UpRently covers England. It compares rents against market evidence. It is not legal advice, it does not check whether a notice is valid, and no outcome is guaranteed.

These details help us find similar local homes to compare against.
England only. For example, SW1A 2AA
Choose the type of the whole building your home is in.
Count every bedroom in the home. This checker is for a whole home rented on one tenancy, so it will not give a useful answer if you rent a room in a shared house.
About your home
These details let us value your home itself, not just the area around it. It takes about a minute, and your answers go in your Evidence Pack.
On your Energy Performance Certificate this is called total floor area, and it is given in square metres. You can look up your certificate free at GOV.UK(opens in new tab). A floor plan or the letting advert will also have it. If you go on to apply to the tribunal you will need these details anyway.
Include a shower room as a bathroom. A separate toilet does not count.
An estimate is fine. Your certificate gives this as well.
Describe it as it is now, not as it was when you moved in.
Choose the largest that applies to your home. A shared communal garden does not count as outside space.
A garage, a driveway or an allocated bay each count as one space. An on-street permit does not.
A few dates
We use these three dates to work out your deadline to apply, and to check the increase against the rules on timing. You will find all three on your tenancy agreement and your rent increase notice.
You will find this on your tenancy agreement.
This is on your rent increase notice. It is also your deadline to apply.
Use the date written on the notice, not the day it arrived.
