In short

The landlord proposed increasing the rent of a two-bedroom flat in BS34 from £995 a month to £1,075 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,075 a month, effective from 1 February 2025 as the notice specified. It considered the comparable evidence and its own knowledge of Bristol rents, and said it could not adjust the rent for historic repair issues that had since been corrected.

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
