In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom house in PE2 from £1,000 a month to £1,050 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £850 a month, effective from 30 July 2026. It relied on its own knowledge and three comparable properties in PE2 advertised at £850 a month, and the landlord conceded that £850 a month was the open market value.
Only the tenant gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
