In short

The landlord, The PRS REIT (LBG) Investments LLP, asked for the rent to rise from £1,025 per calendar month to £1,100 per calendar month for a two-bedroom house in TN1, Telford. The tribunal determined the market rent at £1,025 per calendar month, effective from 8 March 2026, so the increase was refused. It valued the house in good condition at £1,100 per calendar month using the landlord's comparable evidence and its own expertise, then deducted £75 for the maintenance issues raised by the tenant.
