In short
The landlord proposed a rent of £1,100 a month, up from the existing £580 a month, for a property in TN34. The tribunal determined a rent of £950 a month from 1 February 2025, after valuing the property in good tenantable condition at £1,050 a month. It then deducted sums because the tenant provides the white goods, carpets and curtains, and because no central heating or electric night storage heating is provided and there is internal damp and mould.
