In short

The landlord asked for a rent of £1,000 a month from 30 May 2026, in place of the existing £850 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £925 a month from 30 May 2026, after valuing the one-bedroom unfurnished single-storey property at £950 a month using its own knowledge and the representations, then deducting £25 a month for improvements made by the tenant. The tribunal found the tenant had not shown undue hardship.

Only the tenant gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
