In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,150 a month for a four-bedroom detached house in PE4 under a section 13 notice. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,000 a month, effective from 1 October 2025, after deducting £150 a month because the house was in fair condition, with a basic kitchen and bathroom and extensive minor damp. The tribunal based its market figure of £1,150 a month on its own general knowledge of Peterborough rent levels.
