In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in UB4 from £1,600 a month to £2,350 a month. The tribunal, deciding on the papers after inspecting the property, set the rent at £1,932 a month from 24 August 2024. It valued the house at £2,300 a month in good condition, then deducted 16% for lack of modernisation and disrepair, including dated electrics and bathroom and some condensation and mould.
