In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in BA2 from £600 a month to £1,500 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,050 a month, effective from 9 October 2025. It took £1,500 a month as the open-market rent for the house in good order and deducted 30% (£450 a month) for disrepair, non-compliance with an improvement notice, and limited use of one bedroom because of the landlord's belongings.
