In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £700 a month to £975 a month for a three-bedroom terraced house in HX1. The tribunal determined a rent of £800 a month, effective from 1 October 2026. It valued the property at £825 a month in good order, deducted £25 for disrepair, and refused a later start on hardship grounds because the tenant produced no evidence to support the claim.
