In short
The landlord, Clarion Housing Association Ltd, proposed raising the rent on a two-bedroom flat in MK10 from £1100 a month to £1150 a month. The tribunal, using its own general knowledge of Milton Keynes rents, valued the flat at £1150 a month in good order. It then deducted £50 a month for persistent minor disrepair in the flat and communal areas, setting the rent at £1100 a month from 5 April 2025.
