In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a two-bedroom semi-detached house in M28 from £900 a month to £1,000 a month. The tribunal determined the market rent at £900 a month, effective from 8 May 2026. It valued the property at £1,000 a month in good order and deducted £100 a month for long-standing drainage problems that affected use of the downstairs toilet and caused flooding to the kitchen.
