In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,300 a month, up from £1,250 a month, for a three-bedroom house in CT9. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,250 a month from 30 November 2025, so the rent stays the same. It started from £1,350 a month for the property in good order and deducted £100 a month for white goods and curtains not supplied by the landlord and for general repairs.
