In short

The landlord proposed £1,400 a month for a three-bedroom house in MK14, up from £950 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,375 a month, effective from 4 November 2024, because the landlord’s comparable evidence listed asking rents rather than achieved rents and was for superior properties, so a discount was taken. It made a further discount because the landlord was preventing the tenant from using the garage and driveway included in the tenancy.
