In short

The landlord, Places for People Homes Ltd, asked for a rent of £1,195 a month for a three-bedroom house in NG6, up from £625 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,130 a month. It reached this by valuing the property at £1,150 a month having regard to the general level of rents in the area, then deducting £20 a month for an electrical fault on the upper floors. The tribunal also accepted that the increase would cause hardship and set the start date as 23 September 2024, the date of its decision.
