The new rent takes effect from 2 July 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £132.00 per week to £145.00 per week for a three-bedroom house in SK17. The tribunal determined a rent of £145.00 per week, taking effect from 2 July 2025 rather than the landlord's proposed date, because the tenant raised hardship. The tribunal found the house in poor condition, with defects including unusable fireplaces, rot, ceiling falls and a dated kitchen and bathroom, and made deductions from the rent for them.
