In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,295 a month, up from £1,200 a month, for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in M7. The tribunal determined £1,295 a month from 1 June 2026: it valued the property at £1,500 a month in good repair, then deducted £205 a month for general worn condition, drainage and shower problems, and broken fencing. It gave less weight to the tenant's comparables and did not accept the tenant's hardship request, as no supporting evidence was provided.
