The new rent takes effect from 26 August 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £825.00 per calendar month for a four-bedroom terraced house in DN35, up from £750.00 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a rent of £800.00 per calendar month from 26 August 2026, starting from £850.00 per calendar month based on the landlord's comparables and deducting £40.00 for the property's condition as shown in the photographs and £10.00 for the tenant's laminate flooring. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because the increase would not cause undue hardship.
