In short
The landlord asked for £1,000 a month, up from £850 a month, for a three-bedroom maisonette in PO7. The tribunal determined a rent of £880 a month, effective from 30 June 2025. It started from a market rent of £950 a month for a typical property in good tenantable condition, then deducted £20 for the missing washing machine and refrigerator and £50 because the flat is above commercial premises.
