Not to accept rent increase as Landlord has done no maintenance

Ho, help me out please!
The LL hasn't put up the rent for a couple of years. Now wants a massive I crease of 500 more per month
As the rental market prices and mortgages have gone up, cost of living etc.
Ok, yes fair enough, however in the whole time I've been there , no maintenance has been done on the property at all. I now have a broken appliance, various lights that need repair, heaters that never worked and a mould issue related to an isolated window which apparently is getting repaired. The house would be worth more if for it's condition. The LL feels they could get up to 1000 more than I'm saying per month but they are dreaming.

They have assigned I'll sign the increase. I do t know what to say? Advice on how to manage this?

If they are selling the property you need to focus on getting a new rental property. You can slow the process of selling down but you can’t actually prevent it. You will need new accommodation at some point.

Please look at shelters website/contact them.

Although if they have already issued you a section 21 why would you pay an increase?
