In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent from £850 a month to £950 a month for a two-bedroom house in TR9. The tribunal determined the market rent at £850 a month, effective from 5 June 2026, after valuing the property in good order at £985 a month using the landlord's agent's comparables and its own knowledge. It then deducted for white goods and some flooring provided by the tenant, damp and mould, and general repair and decoration, and rejected the tenant's hardship claim for lack of evidence.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
