In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom mid-terraced house in M6 from £725 a month to £1,200 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £900 a month, effective from 27 April 2026. It started from £1,200 a month for the property in modernised, good order and made deductions for a vermin infestation, damp and mould, and poor management, and it refused the tenant's hardship request because no supporting evidence was provided.
