In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in CV6 from £750 to £1,000 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,000 a month from 5 April 2025, the same as the landlord's proposal. It relied mainly on the landlord's comparable properties, most of which had asking rents above £1,000 a month, and took account of the property's tired decoration and lack of a fitted cooker.
