In short

The landlord, Beechdown Ltd, proposed a new rent of £600 per month in place of the existing £500 per month, from 1 July 2025, for a property in BS14. The tribunal determined a rent of £600 per calendar month from 1 July 2025, starting from an open market rent of £1,150 per calendar month in good tenantable condition. It then deducted sums for the tenant's provision of white goods, carpets and curtains and for condition, including no central heating or double glazing, a dated kitchen and bathroom, and poor decoration with damp mould.
