In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £1,900 a month, up from £1,700 a month, for a four-bedroom detached house in TF4. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,900 a month, effective from 17 July 2026. It said the landlord's proposal was fair and in line with the market, noting that the main condition items raised by the tenant had been dealt with and that the tenant gave no comparable evidence for the tenant's £1,500 a month figure.
