In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom house in DN14 from £630 per calendar month to £680 per calendar month. The tribunal determined a rent of £650 per calendar month, effective from 5 October 2024, finding the landlord's proposed figure unachievable in the local market. It reached this by discounting a comparable listed at £695 per calendar month in the same street, reflecting that comparable's recent refurbishment and the minor disrepair at the property.
