The new rent takes effect from 14 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in HD3 from £500 a month to £725 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £700 a month, effective from 14 August 2026, giving greater weight to the landlord's comparable evidence and treating the tenant's condition points as minor. The tribunal found no undue hardship to justify a later start, as the tenant provided only limited information and no supporting evidence of financial hardship.
