The new rent takes effect from 27 March 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,150 a month, up from £840 a month, for a three-bedroom terraced house in GL1. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,115 a month, starting from its decision date of 27 March 2025 rather than the date in the landlord's notice, because the tenants said the increase would cause them severe financial strain. The tribunal valued the property at £1,200 a month in good condition and then deducted £85 a month, citing dated kitchen and bathroom equipment, outstanding repairs, and the tenants' partial provision of white goods, carpets and curtains.
