In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom terraced house in MK13 from £1,200 a month to £1,300 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,300 a month, effective from 18 May 2025. It said the landlord's proposal already took account of the property's age and deterioration over the tenancy, so it made no further deduction, and it relied on its own expertise.
