In short

The landlord proposed £750 a month for a two-bedroom house in HD6, up from £610 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £605 a month, effective from 24 May 2026, after valuing the house at £675 a month using the tenant's comparables and its own knowledge, then deducting £70 for outstanding maintenance shown in photographs. The tenant's request for a later start date was refused because the new rent was a reduction.
