In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £850 per calendar month for a three-bedroom terraced house in L6, up from £550 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £650 per calendar month, effective from 9 January 2026. It reduced its starting figure of £750 pcm by £100 because the property's condition was fair and damp was affecting the ground floor.
