In short
The landlord proposed raising the rent of a three-bedroom house in PO12 from £895 a month to £1,250 a month. The tribunal determined the rent at £1,250 a month from 23 September 2026, after valuing the property in modernised, good order at £1,450 a month and deducting £200 a month for a dated kitchen, worn and dated carpets, dated decorations and general disrepair. The tribunal rejected the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds, finding he had not shown that the increase would cause him hardship.
