In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of this two-bedroom house in IP32 from £1,350 a month to £1,395 a month from 14 June 2026. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,350 a month, starting 14 June 2026. It relied on comparable evidence from the tenant, including an almost identical house on the same road marketed at £1,350 a month in March 2026, together with its own knowledge of the market, and made no deduction for condition, as the landlord made no submissions.
