UK rental letter tools
Letters and checklists for the awkward renting moments.
Build clear, practical drafts for rent increases, repairs, deposit disputes, moving out, rent arrears, guarantors, and lodger arrangements. Each tool includes guidance, evidence prompts, and official source links.

Built to be useful, not thin.
The tools are designed around the evidence renters and landlords actually need: dates, amounts, notices, inventories, access, repayment terms, and source guidance. The draft is only one part; each page also explains when to use it and what to attach.
When money changes
Use written records for rent increases, arrears, deposits, guarantors, and payment plans. These are the moments where vague messages become expensive later.
When the property needs action
Repair requests work best when they give dates, locations, evidence, access windows, and a reasonable request for a response.
When someone moves in or out
Moving-out notices and lodger checklists reduce disputes over dates, keys, shared space, bills, deposits, and belongings.
Use these drafts carefully.
A template can help you write clearly, but it cannot confirm your tenancy type, stop a legal deadline, or replace advice on a dispute. Check your agreement, keep evidence, and use the official links on each page when the issue affects rent, eviction, deposit return, or legal rights.
The pages are written for UK renters and landlords, with most legal detail focused on England because the Renters' Rights Act changes began on May 1, 2026. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have different rules in several areas.
