In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,200 a month, up from £1,050 a month, for a three-bedroom house in TR15. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,100 a month, effective from 6 May 2026. It valued the property at £1,200 a month in good order and made a £100 a month deduction because fire precaution works were still outstanding, while finding that a suspended prohibition order relating to overcrowding did not justify any reduction.
