Understanding rent increase notices in Wales — learn how to raise rent legally and protect your income with our free landlord guide

Are you a landlord in Wales thinking about increasing your rent? With rising maintenance and mortgage costs, a rent review might seem overdue — but under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, getting it wrong could invalidate your notice and even lead to disputes with your tenants.

The rules are clear, but not always simple. From serving the correct notice to understanding minimum notice periods, every step must follow the right legal process. Even a small mistake — such as incorrect timing or wording — can mean starting over, costing you time and income.

Our Free Landlord Guide to Rent Increases in Wales explains:
✅ When and how often you can raise rent legally
✅ The correct forms and notice periods under Welsh law
