In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent from £700 per calendar month to £750 per calendar month for a double room in a five-bedroom house in multiple occupation in CR0. The tribunal determined £750 per calendar month from 1 September 2026. It gave most weight to comparables close to the property in similar-sized houses, rejected the tenant's more remote comparables, and refused a later start date because no financial evidence supported the hardship claim.
What decided it:Comparables rejectedHardship
Both sides gave the tribunal comparable lettings.
