The new rent takes effect from 14 December 2025.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent from £1,100 a month to £1,250 a month for a property in RG21. The tribunal, deciding on the papers without inspecting, valued the property in good condition at £1,250 a month but deducted £50 a month for unrepaired defects such as a defective window and a non-working bathroom heater. It set the rent at £1,200 a month from 14 December 2025, the date in the landlord's notice.
