In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £825 a month for a two-bedroom house in DE23, up from £700 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £815 a month from 15 May 2026, starting from £825 a month for the property in good condition and deducting £15 for its condition. It relied on the landlord's comparables, excluding one described as fully renovated, and refused the tenant's request for a later start date on hardship grounds.
