Problem
Since 1 May 2026, every rent increase on an assured tenancy in England must run through the statutory Section 13 process, requiring lettings agents to prepare evidence, check statutory dates, and serve notices on the prescribed Form 4A. Manual rent reviews are time-consuming, often taking about an hour per review, and rely on spreadsheets, inboxes, and individual judgment, leading to missed deadlines and increased risk of tribunal challenges.
Solution
MarketRent is the operating system for residential rent reviews, providing a single workflow that runs each review end to end—from evidence gathering through landlord approval and tenant communication to a documented outcome. The platform connects to a letting agent's CRM to sync tenancy data, tracks when reviews fall due, and validates statutory dates such as the 52-week rule and notice period before anything is served. MarketRent assembles evidence packs from the agent's own portfolio, saved portal listings, EPC data, Sprift market data, and ONS rent index figures, then prepares the current Form 4A notice for every named tenant. The system maintains a locked audit trail of every step, reducing the time per review from about an hour to roughly seven minutes, and any team member can run the process.
Target Audience
Primary customers are letting agents in England who manage rent reviews on behalf of landlords, particularly those with portfolios of hundreds of properties who need to demonstrate value to landlords and avoid tribunal delays.
