In short

The landlord proposed a rent of £1,400 a month, up from £1,100 a month, for a two-bedroom house in OX16. The tribunal determined a market rent of £1,290 a month, effective from 1 January 2026, starting from an open-market figure of £1,350 a month that took account of the lack of parking. It then reduced that figure by £60 for the tenant's provision of white goods, some carpets and curtains, and general wants of repair.
