In short

The landlord proposed raising the rent for a four-bedroom semi-detached house in RM10 from £1200 a month to £2400 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2250 a month, based on the landlord's comparables for three- and four-bedroom properties, with a £250 a month discount for the property's condition. The tribunal also moved the start date to 3 October 2026 because of undue hardship.
