What is Form 4A?
Form 4A is the prescribed notice used for many Section 13 rent increases in England. It sets out the proposed rent and effective date in a standard format intended to reduce ambiguity.

What the notice includes
- Landlord and tenant details.
- Property address and tenancy context.
- Current rent, proposed rent, and date the new rent starts.
- Information about tenant rights, including tribunal referral.
