In short

The landlord asked for £1,150 a month for a three-bedroom house in LU5, up from £900 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,050 a month, effective from 1 September 2024. It said the landlord's comparable rents of £1,450 to £1,600 a month were asking rents for better-modernised properties, so it adjusted them, and it also discounted for the property's condition, including water ingress and mould recorded at an earlier inspection.
