In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £925 a month to £1,025 a month for a furnished double bedroom with a private shower room and shared kitchen in a house in RM6. The tribunal determined a rent of £900 a month, excluding council tax and water rates, taking effect from 14 October 2024. It said it arrived at a figure in the region of £925 a month inclusive of bills, using its own knowledge of local rents and the evidence provided, and then made a notional £25 adjustment for council tax and water rates.

Only the tenant gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
