In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,745 a month, up from £1,250 a month, for a three-bedroom semi-detached house in BN12. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,745 a month, effective from 1 May 2026, relying on the landlord's comparable listings and its own knowledge of local rents, and noting that the higher-priced comparables had a garage and off-road parking. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds, finding the increase would not cause undue hardship.

What decided it:Hardship
