The new rent takes effect from 12 June 2026.

In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent for a three-bedroom house in RH6 from £1,900 a month to £2,200 a month. The tribunal determined a market rent of £2,000 a month, effective from 12 June 2026, after valuing the modernised property in good condition at £2,100 a month and making deductions for the ground floor shower room, the lack of off-street parking and the property’s general condition. The tribunal relied on its own expertise alongside comparable evidence from both parties.
