In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £762.00 per month, up from £700.00 per month, for a two-bedroom house in DE75. The tribunal determined a rent of £750.00 per month from 14 March 2026. It relied on its own knowledge and the landlord's comparables, which were three-bedroom houses at £800.00 per month, and deducted £50 for curtains and carpets fitted by the tenant, white goods provided by the tenant and the landlord's waste left in the rear garden.
