In short

The Rosaz Charity asked for its three-bedroom semi-detached house in BN3 to be re-let at £1,700 a month from 1 April 2026, up from the £1,500 a month stated in the notice. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,700 a month from 1 April 2026, the date given in the notice. It reached this by deducting from a provisional £1,900 a month for the tenant’s provision of white goods, carpets and curtains, dated bathroom fittings and general repairs, and it did not defer the start date because the tenant gave no evidence of income or expenditure.
