In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in WV10 from £650.00 a month to £775.00 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £820.00 a month, effective from 7 July 2025, starting from a market rent of £950.00 a month and deducting £130.00 for items the tenant provided and for the inadequate, expensive heating and electrical problems. The tenant had raised hardship, and the tribunal set the start date as the date of its decision.
