In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in M30 from £750 a month to £850 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £850 a month, effective from 21 May 2026, starting from a provisional figure of £950 a month based on the landlord's comparables and the tribunal's own knowledge. It then deducted £50 a month for damp and mould around windows and £50 a month for the tenant's garden improvements.
