The new rent takes effect from 1 May 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £600 per calendar month to £850 per calendar month for a two-bedroom house in M40. The tribunal determined the rent at £600 per calendar month, the existing rent, taking effect from 1 May 2025 because of hardship. It said the house's poor condition, including rodent infestation, dated fittings and disrepair, meant it would only let at that rent, and it deducted £275 from the £875 per calendar month it accepted for a well-maintained property to reflect the landlord's neglect.

What decided it:Property condition

Only the landlord gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
