In short
The landlord proposed £1,225 a month for a three-bedroom house in NG12, up from £1,175 a month. The tribunal determined £1,225 a month from 3 April 2026, relying on its general knowledge of market rents in the area, as the tenant did not challenge the figure or provide evidence that it should be lower. The tenant's request to offset the £550 cost of re-turfing the front lawn against the rent was rejected because the work was carried out without landlord consent and at the tenant's own expense.
The panel relied mainly on its own knowledge of local rents.
