In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £287.63 a week, up from £274.46 a week, for a three-bedroom terraced house in OX11. The tribunal determined a market rent of £284.42 a week from 6 April 2026. It rejected the tenant's listings as housing association rents, valued the property from its own knowledge, and made a 15% deduction for damp and moisture and the tenant's repair responsibilities; it refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds.
