Matched in the decision text
The new rent takes effect from 27 November 2025.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £995 per month for a two-bedroom semi-detached house in BL8. The tribunal determined an open market rent of £750 per month, taking effect from 27 November 2025 rather than the proposed 6 July 2025 because it accepted that a backdated increase would cause the tenant severe hardship. It reached this figure by starting from £950 per month for a comparable property in good condition and deducting £200 per month for disrepair and lack of modernity.
