Model-assisted readingIn short
The landlord proposed increasing the rent on a three-bedroom house in HA0 from £1,400 a month to £2,200 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £2,200 a month, valuing the house at £2,300 a month in good condition and deducting £100 a month for its condition and lack of modernisation. Because of the tenant's financial hardship, the tribunal made the new rent payable from the date of its decision, 24 October 2025, rather than from the landlord's notice date.
