In short
The landlord's agent proposed a rent of £1,600 a month in place of the existing £1,250 a month for a two-bedroom terraced house in WD24. Deciding on the papers, the tribunal valued the property at £1,750 a month in good order, then made deductions for ongoing repair issues and for cold and mould problems. It determined a rent of £1,600 a month, the same as the landlord proposed, from 2 May 2025.
