In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom unfurnished maisonette in IP24 from £900 a month to £950 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £900 a month from 1 June 2026. It said the landlord's comparable, a three-bedroom flat of higher specification, supported about £900 a month after allowance for that difference, and it made no deduction for disrepair because substantial remedial works had been carried out.
What decided it:Comparables rejectedProperty condition
