Choose when the new rent starts

When you change a room's rent, choose the date the new rent starts. Rentap suggests the start of the next rent period, and you can pick another date.

A note of the notice you gave

If you gave the tenant notice of the increase, record the date you gave it with the change. It stays with the tenancy.

The rules are up to you

Most rent increases need written notice, and Rentap shows a warning about that when you record one. It doesn't check the notice period or the form of the notice for you. See our guide to rent increases under the Renters' Rights Act for the rules, and our free rent increase date calculator for the dates.

The new rent starts on its own

From the start date, the new rent is used for each rent period. The old rent stays in the history, so statements always show what was due when.
