In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent for a three-bedroom house in DN21 from £850.00 a month to £925.00 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £925.00 a month, the same as the landlord proposed, after valuing the property in good condition against the landlord's comparable rents and placing the figure near the top of their range. The tribunal also found that the increase from 25 August 2026 would cause the tenant undue hardship, so the new rent starts on 25 September 2026.
