In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in M7 from £1,495 a month to £1,535 a month. The tribunal found an open-market rent of £1,550 a month but determined the landlord's lower proposed rent of £1,535 a month, taking effect on 30 August 2026. It gave weight to only one of the tenant's three comparables, finding the other two were in very different areas of Salford, and it refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds.
