In short
The landlord's agent proposed raising the rent for a four-bedroom house in TN23 from £1,550 a month to £1,750 a month from 4 October 2024. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,750 a month from 4 October 2024, based on comparable evidence from both parties and its own judgement, and made no adjustment for the property's condition. The tenant did not dispute the amount, only seeking a fixed term, which the tribunal said was a matter between the parties.
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
