The new rent takes effect from 3 June 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £940 a month, up from the existing £895 a month, for a two-bedroom terraced house in CV6. The tribunal determined a rent of £920 a month, relying on its own expert and general knowledge of rental values in the area. It set the start date of the new rent as 3 June 2026 rather than 15 May 2026, because the increase on the proposed date would have caused the tenant undue hardship.
