The new rent takes effect from 30 September 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,425 a month for a two-bedroom flat in RG24, up from the existing £1,350 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,350 a month from 30 September 2026. It started from a market rent of £1,425 a month, based on the landlord's comparables and its own knowledge, then deducted £75 a month for the flat's need for updating, while giving less weight to the tenant's lower-priced comparables as not directly comparable.
