In short

The landlord, Places for People Living Plus, proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom mid-terraced house in PE28 from £900 a month to £975 a month. The tribunal determined £975 a month from 1 May 2026, relying on a local two-bedroom mid-terrace letting at £975 a month and making a downward adjustment from about £1,050 for the property's condition and presentation, even after recent works. The tribunal refused the tenant's hardship request for a later start because no documentary financial evidence was produced.
