The new rent takes effect from 1 July 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,032 a month, up from £860 a month, for a two-bedroom house in M12. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,032 a month, starting 1 July 2026 rather than 1 June 2026 because the increase would cause the tenant undue hardship. It started from £1,250 a month for a modernised, fully furnished equivalent, deducting £150 because the property is not fully furnished and £68 for its condition.
