In short

The landlord proposed increasing the rent of a two-bedroom house in LS12 from £800 a month to £850 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £850 a month, effective from 6 May 2026, relying on the landlord's comparables, particularly a similar-age terraced house at £850 a month, and on its own knowledge of local rents. It found the house in good repair so made no deduction for condition, and gave the tenant's two named comparables little weight because they came without photographs or details.

What decided it:Comparables rejectedProperty condition

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
