The new rent takes effect from 1 August 2025.

In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £895 per calendar month, up from £500 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £710 per calendar month from 1 August 2025, starting from £850 per calendar month for the two-bedroom house in M38 if modernised and in good order, then deducting for tenant-provided furnishings, condition defects and the dated kitchen. The tribunal gave little weight to the landlord's marketed comparables, which were in better condition, and refused to postpone the increase because the tenant had not provided evidence of hardship.
