The new rent takes effect from 15 September 2026.

In short

The landlord, a company, proposed raising the rent of a one-bedroom flat in SK6 from £625 a month to £750 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £750 a month from 15 September 2026, relying on the landlord's comparables (excluding a retirement apartment) and its own expertise. It made no deduction for the disrepair the tenant alleged, and refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds because no financial evidence was provided.
