Is it legal to increase rent by mutual agreement with a tenant who is on a periodic tenancy or do I have to use section 13 form. She has already agreed to pay the increased rent, the first increase since she moved into the property 5 years ago

I have a tenant who has been in my 2 bedroom flat for almost 5 years and is now on a periodic tenancy agreement. The rent is £125 per month which has not been increased since she moved into the flat in 2016. I now want to increase the rent but what would be a fair increase and ewould it be fair in the present Covid climate? The dishwasher is not now working - Do I have to replace it? Maureen B
