Withheld: failed a sanity check
The new rent takes effect from 1 July 2026.
In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £2,000 a month for a furnished room in a house in multiple occupation in M6, up from £320 a month. The tribunal determined £420 a month, the figure the parties agreed, as the landlord did not supply evidence supporting its proposed rent. It also delayed the start of the new rent from 1 May 2026 to 1 July 2026 because of the tenant's financial hardship.
