In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,200 a month, up from £500 a month, for a three-bedroom house in GU14. The tribunal determined £1,270 a month from 5 August 2025, starting from its own view of £1,650 a month based on local rental values. It then deducted £380 a month, mainly for white goods, carpets and curtains supplied by the tenant, the dated kitchen and bathroom, outstanding repairs and the tenant's double glazing and insulation.
