In short
The landlord proposed £1,450 a month for a two-bedroom maisonette in MK12, up from £1,370 a month. The tribunal determined a rent of £1,400 a month from 1 September 2026, rejecting the tenant's comparables as unreliable and valuing the property at £1,450 a month in good order from its own expertise and the landlord's comparables, then deducting £50 a month for the poor external state and condition of the building. The tribunal refused the tenant's request for a later start on hardship grounds, finding no undue hardship.
