In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in M46 from £865 a month to £925 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £925 a month, effective from 3 August 2024, finding the property in good order and relying on its own knowledge of rents in the area, which it said was consistent with the landlord's comparables. The tenant submitted no evidence of undue hardship, so the new rent starts on the date the landlord proposed.
Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
