The new rent takes effect from 17 June 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £1,130 a month to £1,280 a month for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in CV2. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,225 a month, relying on comparable properties and its own expertise, for a property modernised and in good order. It set the new rent to start on 17 June 2026 instead of 9 May 2026 because the tenant showed the increase would cause undue hardship.
