From suspicion to a supported request
Do not immediately request a final reduction based on a single indication. First collect the details and check the calculation.
Then discuss your findings with the landlord in writing. Keep the tone calm and ask for a review.
If you cannot resolve the matter together, check which formal or personal next step fits your situation.

Start with facts and evidence
First collect only the documents relevant to your question: the rental contract and appendices, proof of payment, relevant correspondence and housing details such as the energy label, WOZ value or measurements. Keep the original files and a copy of every message. Do not share an identity document, citizen service number or other sensitive documents in an initial request.
Start with a clear rent check
First check your base rent, home details, points estimate and possible difference. You can then choose whether to keep only the result or download a document.
