In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £910 a month, up from £865 a month, for a two-bedroom bungalow in PE13. The tribunal determined a rent of £900 a month from 1 May 2026, starting from a market rent of £1,100 a month for the property in modernised, good order based on the landlord's comparables and its own knowledge. It deducted £150 because the property is dated and in need of upgrading, and £50 for improvements made by the tenant.
