In short

The landlord, a social housing provider, proposed raising the rent for a two-bedroom house in GL11 from £850.02 a month to £977.52 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,050 a month, starting 1 April 2026, relying on its own expert and general knowledge of rents in the area. The landlord did not respond, and the tribunal found the tenant's hardship submission was not supported by evidence, so it did not delay the start date.
