16 Mallard Way, Scawby Brook, Brigg, DN32 9FP
The new rent takes effect from 11 May 2026.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £650 a month, up from £500 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £590 a month for a two-bedroom house in DN32, starting 11 May 2026 rather than the proposed 11 July 2025 because the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship. It reduced the rent for the unmodernised condition and disrepair of the property, including a dangerous temporary garden fence, and for the landlord's belongings in the garage; neither party provided comparable rents, so the tribunal relied on its own knowledge.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
