N1: Notice of Rent Increase
Most landlords must use this form (Form N1) when increasing the rent. However, there are three exceptions:

- Use Form N3 (Notice to Increase Rent and/or Charges for Care Services and Meals) for rental units in care homes.
- Use Form N10 if both you and the tenant have agreed to increase the rent above the guideline due to capital work or new/additional services provided.
