In short
The landlord's agent proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in SL3 from £1,623 a month to £2,600 a month from 1 December 2025. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,000 a month, effective from 1 December 2025. Neither party provided comparable rents, so the tribunal relied on its own knowledge of Slough rental values and took account of the property's condition as seen at inspection.
