In short

The landlord's agent proposed raising the rent on a three-bedroom house in SL2 from £1,400 a month to £1,900 a month. After inspecting the property and holding an online hearing, the tribunal determined a market rent of £1,385 a month, effective from 7 January 2026. It assessed £1,800 a month for the house in good condition using its own knowledge of Slough rents, then deducted £540 a month for poor condition including kitchen fittings, flooring, damp and general disrepair, and found the start date would cause the tenant no undue hardship.
