FTT Appeal

Once your application is submitted in time, the proposed rent increase is put on hold while the tribunal considers it. If the tribunal decides a new rent should apply, it starts from the date the tribunal sets and it is not backdated to the original increase date.

Landlord Letter

A Landlord Rent Reduction Letter is a formal and well-structured request to your landlord that utilises the current laws, statutes and regulations to explain to them why they should consider agreeing with you a more reasonable rent increase. It presents relevant details such as property condition, comparable market rents, changes in circumstances or service related issues in a respectful and professional tone.

Get your completed application

We use your answers to generate a completed FTT rent appeal application that can be submitted on your behalf or we create a letter to be provided to your landlord requesting an adjustment to the proposed rent increase. We will then send a copy to the FTT or your landlord as well as sending you a copy and saving a copy to your account on this website.

Which Option Is Right For You?

A landlord letter is often the best first step if you want to keep things less confrontational and attempt to negotiate directly. A tribunal appeal is a stronger option if you want formal protection and an independent decision on whether the proposed rent increase is fair.

Landlord Letter

Best if you want to negotiate first

Pros

Usually feels less confrontational
Quick and simple to send
May help preserve the landlord relationship
Good first step where the increase may be negotiable
Lower cost and lower effort

Cons

Not legally binding
Landlord can still refuse
Does not produce an independent rent decision
May only delay the issue
You may still need a tribunal application afterwards

Tribunal Appeal (FTT)

Best if you want formal protection

Pros

Independent decision on what the rent should be
The tribunal cannot increase the rent above the landlord’s proposed figure
If the hearing is later, the increase is not backdated
Potential savings can be substantial if the hearing takes time
May lead to a settlement before the hearing

Cons

More formal and more confrontational
Requires more documents and preparation
Takes longer than sending a letter
The tribunal may still decide the proposed increase is reasonable
Better suited to stronger disputes than minor negotiations
